Case Studies

‘Aaron’ has ASD and did e-learning whilst attending a Special School. As the school offered only Maths and English teaching, the E-Learning Service was asked to provide lessons in Science for him. He achieved a grade 9 in his GCSE Science exam having studied this subject only with the Service.

‘Kevin’ was referred in year 8 when Diabetes prevented him from attending school full-time. E-Learning was put in place as a ‘back-up’ for days when he was too ill to travel. Work was set according to the Exam Board and syllabus of the school with topics directed by its staff members.

‘Yasmin’ is Y2 and cannot currently attend her primary school due to anxiety associated with ASD. She has bespoke work around her interests which includes small animal care, meaning she can continue to learn whilst at home.

‘Barny’ was referred as a primary student when his chronic medical condition prevented him from attending school; this led to increased anxiety for him. E-Learning provided him with on-going education and the reassurance of continued good progress for Barny and his family.

‘Kabir’ is Y8 and waiting for a specialist school placement so e-learning allows him to continue his learning in maths, science and English until he can attend
his new school.

‘Becky’ suffered from mental health problems for many of her teenage years and was hospitalised for long periods of KS4. As a consequence, she missed out on GCSEs in years 10 and 11 but was awarded exceptional funding so that she could re-sit year 11. She remained on school roll but accessed her lessons from home in order to take GCSE exams in the summer.
