Keys Online School

Keys Online School is a full-time, accredited education delivered entirely through an online platform, with 25 or more hours of structured learning each week across all seven Independent School Standards curriculum areas. It suits learners on education otherwise than at school (EOTAS) arrangements, those with emotionally based school avoidance (EBSA), and learners with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs who benefit from reduced sensory demands, structure and therapeutic wraparound.

Lessons are live and taught by qualified teachers, with integrated wellbeing sessions, progress tracking and targeted intervention. Many learners use it as a stepping stone toward blended or full in-person reintegration.
