About Accipio
Accipio Learning supports 80 local authorities and over 100 schools and works with in excess of 1000 pupils each academic year. Our curriculum, ethos and approach are entirely focused on supporting pupils who may be socially and economically disadvantaged and/or may have disengaged from mainstream education.
Accipio is typically used by local authorities and schools to provide the backbone of their alternative provision programmes. Accessing Accipio is simple with pupils learning from home, school inclusion setting, authority centre, work or college placement or indeed any venue where a broadband connection and pc are available.
Accipio provides complete flexibility and can deliver between 5 and 30 hours of education per pupil each week, tailored to the needs of each individual, addressing the personalised and digital learning agendas and working as part of a blended education solution for many young people. We teach GCSEs over 2 years, 1 year or even just 5 months and deliver short single-term courses in numeracy and literacy that form the springboard for progression through to achieving GCSEs and providing a pathway into education, employment or training.
Our school typically comprises pupils who are:
- At risk of exclusion
- Excluded from secondary school
- Unable to attend school for medical reasons
- Unable to attend school for mental health reasons
- Special Educational Needs (S.E.N)
- Young people in the public care system (L.A.C)
- Teenage mothers
- Not in education, employment or training (N.E.E.T)
- Young offenders
- New arrivals, refugees and asylum seekers
Inclusive Education
However these young people are categorised, it is clear that access to high quality education delivers the same opportunity for advancement and progression as for less disadvantaged young people. This is the central ethos behind Accipio and informs all that we do and hope to achieve.
Accipio is modelled on the same premise as a normal secondary school. Our teachers are subject specialists in their own right and as a team bring many, many years of mainstream secondary school teaching experience to our online classroom. This experience, allied with cutting edge technology, has consistently delivered positive outcomes with over 40% of pupils achieving A* to C grades over the past few years.
Cost Efficient Education
In the current economic climate, schools and local authorities are charged with continuing to deliver improved educational outcomes in an environment of cuts to public spending. This is all the more apparent in alternative provision where delivering personalised education whilst meeting legislative obligations has traditionally been a very expensive exercise.
On projects large or small, Accipio can provide a fully-managed, turnkey and scaleable service that could deliver a 50% saving on alternative education spending. Our services in England and Wales have already delivered savings across:
- Home tuition budgets
- Spending on local provision
- Transportation budgets
- Existing local authority ‘do it yourself’ virtual learning
- Specialist authority provision
