EDClass: Transform Learning for Schools & MATs
About EDClass
EDClass is a Department for Education-accredited provider of online education that helps break down barriers to learning for schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs).
The platform is trusted by many as an online alternative provision that promotes personal development, ensuring children are well-prepared for adulthood.
We’ve been providing a robust and safeguarded platform since 2008, offering a virtual learning classroom and management portal with resources that impact learning, assessment, and pastoral development.
By operating as an OEAS-accredited, multi-environment digital framework, EDClass directly addresses the rigid compliance demands of the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Act 2026 and Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE), transforming statutory oversight into an automated, defensive shield.
The platform actively mitigates risk within current exclusion and suspension legislation by replacing lost instructional time with instant, SOW-aligned academic continuity and DfE code-mapped behaviour repair modules from hour one of any sanction.
Furthermore, EDClass directly impacts the SEND reform and national inclusion strategies by optimising on-site inclusion bases and resourced units. Through its dual architecture of EDInclude and EDInclude+, it pairs low-arousal pathways with live, Level 3 and Level 5 DSL-supported QTS instruction.
This comprehensive approach ensures that high-need, anxious, or suspended learners maintain verified engagement, satisfy EHCP provisions, and follow a structured, audit-proof pathway back to the mainstream classroom.
The Unique Service Proposition: Our Centralised, Office-based Operations
A cornerstone of the EDClass framework is our structurally centralised operational model.
Our entire multidisciplinary team – including UK qualified live teachers, Level 3 and Level 5 DSLs, mental health wellbeing officers, subject specialists, and dedicated SEND support staff – is co-located within our secure, purpose-built headquarters in Dinnington, Sheffield.
This office-based environment serves as a powerful operational anchor for our strategic partners. Rather than managing fragmented lines of communication across a distributed network of remote contractors, our clients interface with a unified, tightly synchronised command centre.
Having our safeguarding infrastructure, academic delivery teams, and technical engineers operating alongside one another in professional studios and booths guarantees instant internal cross-communication.
During critical student welfare escalations, complex diagnostic adjustments, or rapid lesson adaptations, this centralised synergy eliminates operational lag, providing trusts with an unmatched standard of security, accountability, and immediate responsiveness.
Live Timetabled Sessions and Total Curriculum Continuity
Our completely re-engineered platform moves far beyond static digital worksheets by offering live, timetabled virtual sessions running throughout the standard school day (9 am to 4 pm UK time).
EDClass solves the challenge of off-site learning by providing absolute curriculum continuity; our platform acts as a synchronised digital counterpart that aligns immediately with each individual school’s distinct scheme of work (SOW).
When a student is placed in an inclusion base, serving a suspension, or learning remotely, they do not default to generic tasks. Instead, our strategic partners can guarantee that the learner covers the exact same granular sub-topics, text chapters, and exam specifications as their mainstream peers.
By operating as a real-time digital twin of the live classroom, the platform eliminates the tracking friction that traditionally disrupts alternative provision and isolation cohorts.
Trust leaders receive robust, standardised data proving that academic momentum is actively sustained across every academy, protecting institutional progress metrics and eliminating learning gaps before they can compound.
10,000+ Lessons Across 100s of Pathways: Flexible Delivery Built Around You and Your Students
To complement our live timetabled teaching, the upgraded EDClass platform features an extensive, fully digitised curriculum library containing over 10,000 lessons structured across hundreds of specialised pathways.
This vast resource repository works side-by-side with our live QTS-led lessons, giving schools complete flexibility to adapt provision to their exact operational needs.
