Online Learning to Re-engage
Referral → Plan → Short-Stay Placement → Reintegration & Review.
Helping children to feel safe, seen and re-engage with education. Improving attendance and engagement nationwide.
Our online classes, digital courses, and personalised tuition for ADHD, autism, and dyslexia are designed to boost engagement and deliver measurable impact — leading to improved attendance, happier students, and successful reintegration into the classroom.
With increasing numbers of neurodivergent learners and students with additional needs spending time outside mainstream education, now is the time to offer flexible, hybrid solutions that support re-engagement & attendance.
We provide short-stay, relationship-centred support that plans for reintegration from day one, working alongside schools and families. Our focus is simple: start quickly, lift attendance during placement, return pupils to mainstream well, and check they’re still on track at 6 and 12 months.
Through our Gaia Bloom platform, we partner with schools, families, and local authorities to deliver interest-based learning, tuition, and courses, tracking personalised learning journeys that help students re-engage, rebuild confidence, and successfully reintegrate into classroom education.
Learn more about how your school can have it's own inclusive online learning hub to support, track and measure learner engagement, progress and wellbeing on their journey back into school.
School Case Studies
Scenario:
Learner dis-engaged from schools, needs re-engagement to support re-attendance.
Over four months, our Gaia hybrid pathway undercuts most AP models and avoids the huge downstream costs of exclusion—while being kinder, faster, and more responsive to what the learner actually needs.
From November 2025 Gaia Learning are an approved Pearson online EdExcel approved centre. This means we offer iGCSE's in modular format to support learners who need greater flexibility and choice.
"Huge thank you for the support with this complex case. The last minute onboarding, weekly feedback and ease of renewal was very helpful.
The care and nurture provided through 1:1 provision helped support him to group learning and now back into school. Thank you!"

How we share progress and help learners, together
We believe families deserve a clear picture of how their child is really getting on—what’s going well and what’s hard.
At Gaia Learning, we report on progress and challenges side-by-side, so there are no surprises at GCSE choices, next steps, or when seeking support. Our aim is transparency that actually helps: actionable insights, not just praise.

Gaia Bloom is an inclusive online learning hub for schools — bringing together resources, training, curriculum, a virtual classroom, and powerful analytics in one place.
It enables schools to deliver engaging, flexible learning anytime, anywhere, in any subject.
Gaia Academy is our training, curriculum and courses function.
We create inclusive curriculum contents, interest based courses and provide an end to end solution for SEN learner support in schools.
An inclusive curriculum ensures that all learners, regardless of their background, abilities, or learning needs, have equitable access to education. It is designed to be flexible, accessible, and representative of diverse perspectives, enabling every learner to engage meaningfully.
If you would like to talk to the team about creating an inclusive curriculum please contact us and we'll arrange an appointment with our Head of Learning.
Whether the learner child has a diagnosis or not, we can support them to feel happy and confident with learning, delivering online support whilst they prepare to get back into the classroom or learn in the right space for them.
We also offer...
Each learner has their own virtual whiteboard for notetaking. They can access classes and content outside of the timetabled hours and can use the chat, camera, video and communication tools as little or as much as they like.
"A Classroom in a Single Tab"
Imagine an online classroom that's as simple as opening a single tab. This is more than just video and chat. We've created a wholly interactive eco-system designed to keep all learners engaged and interested.
Collaborative whiteboards, integrated multimedia content, chat and video functionality, shared and personal spaces to work. This isn't a lerner sat alone learning in front of a screen, this is bringing a reimagined classroom to their fingertips. We can adjust all settings per classroom per learner to support safeguarding and deliver the best learner experience.
As part of our commitment to being flexible for our students, our classroom is as accessible from home as it is from the top of a mountain (yes, we've tried it!).
Learner feedback after each session
Our system will automatically notify a learners key contact if a student doesn't attend a session. It will also automatically generate and send detailed feedback on each student after every session.
Keeping students safe is our number 1 priority. We have an open door policy for our classrooms, so any educator can access any classroom at any time. Every class is recorded - audio and video and we monitor all engagement, online activity and feedback from the learners and can report on this as required by our school partner.

A Few Case Studies
Background
Our relationship with Peacehaven School began with an initial enquiry from a concerned parent. She had made the difficult decision to withdraw her child from school due to the significant impact on his mental health. Seeking an alternative that would provide therapeutic support while allowing her child to rebuild confidence and re-engage in learning from a safe environment, she reached out to Gaia Learning.
Engagement with the School
After initial discussions with the parent, Gaia Learning was introduced to the school's Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO). A meeting was arranged to explore the challenges faced by the school, particularly regarding funding constraints. The SENCO acknowledged the potential of Gaia Learning in supporting this learner and took proactive steps by applying to the Local Authority for top-up funding.
Expanding Support
Recognising the benefits Gaia Learning could offer, the SENCO identified several other students facing similar challenges. She reached out to discuss how Gaia Learning could extend its support to additional learners. As a result, Gaia Learning began working with three students from Peacehaven School. Early results indicated notable improvements in confidence and engagement.
Positive Outcomes
Encouraged by the initial success, two additional students participated in taster sessions and expressed enthusiasm for continuing with Gaia Learning. This brought the total number of supported learners to five. Each student demonstrated increased confidence and engagement, validating the effectiveness of Gaia Learning’s approach in providing tailored support within a flexible and nurturing learning environment.Conclusion
The collaboration between Peacehaven School and Gaia Learning showcases the impact of personalised, online education for neurodivergent students. By working closely with both parents and educators, Gaia Learning has provided an effective solution for students struggling in traditional school settings, enabling them to regain confidence and actively participate in learning.

14yr old S** has been out of the school system for a few years. As part of a mainstream school with an EHCP S** was struggling to engage with the physical classroom and face to face tuition. The school engaged with Gaia Learning to deliver GCSE’s via 1:1 tuition online.
“I am now hopeful for S’s future and can see the progress he’s making. Every time I read an email from you I can see how much you care, thank you”.
