Flexischooling - Helping children build a bridge back into education

Flexischooling is an empowering choice that blends time in a traditional school with learning at home or online, creating an education journey that adapts to your child’s unique strengths and needs. Whether your child attends school part-time or spends days learning with Gaia Learning, flexischooling offers a flexible, inclusive way to access education.

For neurodivergent, flexischooling can open doors that full-time schooling alone cannot — helping reduce anxiety, sensory overload, or burnout. By honoring each child’s pace and needs, flexischooling makes learning more equitable and responsive, building confidence and a love of learning.

We can work with your school to create a flexi-schooling plan that works for your child.

At Gaia Learning, we believe inclusive education should be accessible to every child — and flexischooling is a powerful way to achieve this.

Our team specialises in creating flexible, personalised online learning that fits seamlessly into flexischooling plans. We help families:

✅ Create a balanced, individualised schedule that supports your child’s needs.

✅ Provide rich, engaging learning experiences that complement school-based days.

✅ Document progress, wellbeing, and achievements, making it easy to demonstrate your child’s educational success.

✅ Champion your child’s right to thrive through an inclusive approach tailored for neurodivergent and diverse learners.


Flexischooling and the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill (July 2025)

The new Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill highlights the importance of ensuring every child receives a suitable education, especially when they learn outside of full-time school. Under the proposed law:

✅ All flexischooled children must be registered with their local authority.

✅ Families will need to show that flexischooling provides an education that is appropriate and supportive, particularly for children with special educational needs (SEN) or Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

✅ Local authorities will have a clearer role in ensuring flexischooling arrangements protect every child’s right to an inclusive, high-quality education.
