Reducing Exclusions: A Proactive and Holistic Approach with EDClass

Support & Re-Engagement

As per the DfE’s guidance on suspensions and permanent exclusions, it is vital that pupils continue to receive their education, especially during the first five school days of a suspension.

EDClass provides a powerful solution to this challenge, empowering schools and MATs to move beyond simple compliance and adopt a proactive, holistic approach to exclusion reduction.

EDClass goes beyond a traditional online learning platform. We offer a comprehensive suite of tools and services that work together to address the root causes of disengagement and behaviour challenges, ensuring students remain connected to their education and have a clear pathway back to the classroom.

How EDClass Enhances Your Exclusion Reduction Strategies

By integrating these new elements of the EDClass platform, schools and MATs can create a robust and preventative strategy for exclusion reduction.

We work collaboratively with you to implement these effective strategies, addressing the root causes of disengagement and behaviour challenges and helping every student reach their full potential.

A Holistic and Inclusive Approach

EDClass's holistic approach, supported by our EDInclude framework, is a powerful tool for building a more inclusive learning environment.

  • Identify at-risk pupils early through our data-driven insights and provide targeted interventions.
  • Cater to diverse learning needs, including SEND students, through features like visual support, private chat, and flexible engagement options.
  • Reduce teacher workload by providing a comprehensive, marked curriculum, allowing your staff to focus on in-person support and pastoral care.
A Focus on Wellbeing and Re-engagement

We understand that many behavioural issues stem from underlying social, emotional, and mental health needs.

EDNurture offers a safe, secure, and fully safeguarded space for students to receive wellbeing and resilience sessions.

  • Assess student readiness to learn, ensuring they are in the right emotional state before engaging with the curriculum.
  • Provide one-on-one support to identify barriers, triggers, and create strategies for success.
  • Build positive relationships and resilience, which are crucial for a successful return to the mainstream classroom.
Personalised, Live Learning to Prevent Gaps

Our live teaching platform, EDTeach, is a key element in preventing exclusion by addressing the academic disengagement that often precedes it.

Our UK-qualified teachers use EDTeach to:

  • Deliver tailored, live lessons that engage pupils and address individual learning gaps, reducing frustration and the risk of further disengagement.
  • Provide direct, differentiated support via camera sharing, audio, and chat, ensuring students at risk of exclusion receive the personalised attention they need.
  • Mirror the school's curriculum, ensuring continuity of learning during short-term placements and preventing students from falling further behind.
Instant Access and Re-engagement

EDLive provides the flexibility and responsiveness required to manage suspensions and short-term placements effectively.

  • Instantly support interventions and provide a high-quality alternative learning environment.
  • Ensure students can access their education from anywhere with an internet connection, fulfilling the DfE's requirement for work to be set and marked during suspensions.
  • Provide a consistent learning experience with qualified teachers, which is vital for re-engaging pupils who may feel disconnected from their school community.
Proactive Behaviour Management and Intervention

EDSafe provides the framework for effective behaviour management and intervention, aligning with your school's policies and procedures.

Our dedicated teachers and resilience-focused teams work with your staff to:

  • Track behaviour and implement positive reinforcement strategies.
