Why Choose The CatchUp Academy?
Proven Expertise Across All Educational Settings
With over 30 years of collective experience, The CatchUp Academy has established itself as a leader in delivering tailored education to vulnerable students. Our team of highly qualified tutors has a proven track record of supporting students across a wide range of settings, including mainstream schools, alternative provisions, and home or hospital-based education. Our adaptability ensures that we meet the unique needs of each child, whether they are dealing with behavioural challenges, medical conditions, or other barriers to traditional schooling.
Comprehensive Support for SEND and Alternative Provisions
Our services are specifically designed to cater to the complexities of SEND and alternative provisions. We understand that these students require more than just academic support—they need a holistic approach that considers their emotional, social, and behavioural needs. Our tutors are trained to deliver personalised tuition that not only addresses academic gaps but also fosters confidence and resilience, paving the way for successful reintegration into mainstream education or helping them achieve their educational goals in other settings.
Collaborative Approach with Key Stakeholders
At The CatchUp Academy, we believe in the power of collaboration. We work closely with local authorities, case workers, social workers, schools, and parents to ensure that our tuition services are fully aligned with each student’s individual education plan (IEP). This collaborative approach allows us to tailor our support to the specific needs of the student, ensuring consistent and measurable progress. Our commitment to transparent communication means that all stakeholders are kept informed through regular updates, progress reports, and consultations.
Flexible, Accessible, and Safe Tuition Options
Understanding that every student’s situation is unique, we offer flexible tuition options that can be delivered in public spaces, at home, or through secure online platforms. Our rigorous vetting process ensures that all tutors are not only experts in their subject areas but are also trained to handle the specific challenges associated with working with vulnerable children. We request detailed briefings and risk assessments for each student to ensure that our tutors are fully prepared to provide a safe and effective learning environment.
Proven Results and High Retention Rates
The CatchUp Academy’s commitment to excellence is reflected in our results. We are proud of our 90% retention rate among schools and organisations, a testament to the quality of our services and the trust placed in us by our partners. Our tutors consistently achieve positive outcomes, whether through improved exam performance, increased participation, or successful transitions back into mainstream education. The testimonials and referrals we receive underscore our impact and dedication to making a difference in the lives of vulnerable students.
Continuous Improvement and Sharing Best Practices
Our partnership with the Department for Education (DfE) and involvement in webinars and other initiatives demonstrate our commitment to continuous improvement. We actively share best practices and stay abreast of the latest developments in education, particularly in relation to supporting SEND and alternative provision students. By choosing The CatchUp Academy, Schools and local authorities gain access to a partner who is not only experienced but also dedicated to staying at the forefront of educational innovation.
