Three ways to work with us
Most school partners pick one of three models. We can also build a custom arrangement for MAT-wide rollouts.
Sponsored partnership
The school covers learner fees and selects students. Best for top-up qualifications and SLT-led programmes.
Parent-funded with school referral
Parents pay monthly or annually. The school nominates students and we discount fees. Best for ad-hoc A Level top-up.
Hybrid (MAT or sixth form)
A blend of sponsored students and parent-funded places, with one consolidated account manager.
