ASCL welcomes new partner

ASCL is pleased to announce that members can now benefit from a new partnership arrangement with Accipio Learning, the latest company to obtain ASCL preferred supplier status.

As a provider of live online education, Accipio Learning helps schools to manage their inclusion strategy by providing a solution to the problems of sixth day cover and offers an alternative approach to educating pupils who cannot attend school.

Accipio's live online teaching and learning resources already help many schools and local authorities deliver alternative provision to a wide range of Key Stage 3 and 4 pupils. These include excluded pupils, those with medical or mental health problems, school refusers or phobics and youth offenders. Accipio can offer schools:

• up to 25 hours of education per pupil per week

• core GCSE subjects at foundation and higher tier

• comprehensive online reporting on every pupil for every lesson

• a 98 per cent pass rate at GCSE with 43 per cent A*-C grades*
  * Based on results from GCSE exams in 2007

To find out how some ASCL members have already used Accipio Learning to help minimise exclusions, visit www.accipio-learning.com and click on the ASCL members link on the home page. ASCL members will receive a 10 per cent discount on Accipio products.
