A Holistic Curriculum for Personal Development

Beyond our core academic offerings, EDClass provides a crucial curriculum focused on the personal development and wellbeing of every student.

Our platform allows for personalised learning pathways that cater to each student’s needs and interests, providing the right level of challenge and support.

Key Stage 1 & 2: Primary Foundations and Early Intervention

Our primary curriculum is designed to spark engagement and establish essential academic foundations at the earliest stage of a child’s educational journey.

By identifying learning gaps early, EDClass prevents foundational deficits from compounding before secondary transition, ensuring every primary pupil builds confidence in a supportive, low-pressure digital environment.

Literacy and Numeracy Foundations

Focuses on core reading, writing, mathematical fluency, and scientific reasoning to secure essential primary milestones.

Reading Age Calibration

Early diagnostics establish phonics and reading age benchmarks, dynamically adapting text levels so learners build confidence.

Gamified Reinforcement (EDArcade)

Educational puzzles and quizzes reinforce learning during independent study breaks, keeping primary learners motivated in a structured environment.

Early Gap Identification

Prevents early-stage learning deficits from compounding before secondary transition.

Key Stage 3: Secondary Bridge and Broad Curriculum Retention

Key Stage 3 represents a critical transition period where vulnerable learners risk falling behind or becoming disengaged.

The EDClass Key Stage 3 curriculum bridges the gap between primary foundations and secondary expectations, maintaining academic momentum while protecting broad subject access so learners do not suffer from curriculum narrowing during inclusion or off-site placements.

Smooth Academic Transition

Bridges primary learning to secondary expectations, ensuring pupils maintain academic momentum during crucial middle years.

CollaborationBroad Subject Palette

Supported by EDInclude to deliver a wide array of humanities, modern foreign languages, and creative arts alongside core subjects - stopping curriculum narrowing during inclusion placements.

Targeted Remediation Pathways

Diagnoses and closes Key Stage 2 retention gaps in core English, Maths, and Science before GCSE study begins.

Key Stage 4 & GCSEs: Targeted Exam Readiness and Qualification Pathways

For Key Stage 4, our curriculum focuses intensely on qualification outcomes, target grade attainment, and structured exam preparation across all major UK awarding bodies.

Designed around Bloom’s Taxonomy, EDClass equips GCSE learners in alternative provision or internal inclusion with the exact skills, past-paper practice, and subject mastery needed to achieve their full potential in national examinations.

Major Exam Board Alignment

Full scheme-of-work mapping across AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel, and WJEC.

Core Subject Mastery
Exam Board-Specific Prep

Access to vast libraries of exam-style questions, past paper walkthroughs, and rubric-aligned mark schemes using Bloom’s Taxonomy.

Continuous Attainment Tracking

Real-time diagnostics measure target grade predictions, giving leads clear data on GCSE readiness during alternative provision or IAP placements.

How EDClass Mirrors Your SOW

The mapping engine operates on a structured, multi-tier hierarchy. When onboarding your school or Multi-Academy Trust (MAT), your specific examination boards (AQA, OCR, Pearson Edexcel, WJEC) and departmental schemes of work are ingested into the platform matrix.

Step-by-Step Mapping Process

Complete Curriculum Alignment

EDClass maps its 10,000+ interactive lessons, video tutorials, and assessment tasks directly against your subject progression models across Key Stages 1 through 4.

Topic and Sub-Topic Granularisation

Core subjects are broken down into precise, micro-unit learning pathways. If your Year 10 mainstream cohort is studying Algebraic Fractions in Week 4, an IAP or off-site learner is assigned that exact sub-topic on their live timetable.

Complete Pathway Mastery (Recommended)

To maximise learner growth, we recommend enrolling learners into the complete sub-topic pathway. This allows the EDClass platform to deliver full interactive learning, adaptive differentiation, and diagnostic testing - generating the comprehensive data needed for robust progress reviews, statutory reports, and Ofsted evidence profiles.

Reading Age and Accessibility Calibration

To ensure learners can access their mainstream curriculum regardless of literacy barriers, tasks are dynamically calibrated to the learner's reading age. Text-to-speech tools, simplified vocabulary modes, and visual scaffolding allow learners to cover the same core concept as their peers at an accessible reading level.

Live Teacher Engagement in Timetabled Sessions

Within EDTeach and EDLive, learners do not learn in isolation. As they follow their live, timetabled sessions - mapped directly to your school's scheme of work - they can actively interact and engage with EDClass teachers in real time for immediate academic guidance, task differentiation, and reassurance.

Baseline Diagnostic Assessment

Before a pathway begins, diagnostic testing measures baseline understanding. If gaps from prior years exist (e.g., a Key Stage 4 learner lacking Key Stage 3 fraction fundamentals), the system intelligently builds pre-requisite sub-topics into their pathway before linking back to the mainstream SOW.

Complete Engagement, Interaction and Support Guidance (Recommended)

While schools can assign isolated tasks, we strongly recommend allowing EDClass to deliver the full sub-topic pathway alongside our expert support guidance in live timetabled sessions or in inclusion units with the EDClass teachers supporting through chats.

Enrolling learners in the complete pathway ensures that every layer of interactive learning, adaptive differentiation, and diagnostic assessment is fully administered. This delivers maximum academic growth while generating rich, audit-proof data for progress reviews, statutory reports, and Ofsted evidence profiles.

Curriculum Continuity with EDInclude, EDLive and EDTeach

Curriculum continuity is maintained across three primary operational modules, depending on the setting and needs of the learner.

Curriculum

This is where there are self-administered pathways for on-site inclusion rooms and behaviour repair with or without EDClass teaching support, mapped to your curriculum needs.

SOW Continuity

When a learner enters an internal inclusion unit, they do not receive dead-time worksheets. The inclusion lead selects the learner's mainstream topic on the EDClass board.

Supportive Teaching in Inclusion

EDInclude transforms physical isolation and inclusion rooms into calm, reflective learning hubs. Rather than leaving dysregulated or isolated pupils to work in silence with paper workpacks, EDInclude provides live, supportive teaching and direct digital guidance from UK specialists.

De-escalation and Low-arousal Interaction

Learners engage quietly with live teachers via text, audio, or structured chat alongside self-marking diagnostic tasks. This approach removes interpersonal staff-pupil friction, calms dysregulated behaviour, and ensures core learning continues with compassionate human support.

Low-arousal Circuit Breakers

EDInclude pushes self-marking, topic-specific diagnostic challenges directly to the learner's screen. The learner completes curriculum-aligned learning quietly while processing behaviour reflection modules.

Audit-proof Evidence

Every task completed generates an unalterable digital mark sheet mapped to national standards, proving to Ofsted that internal sanctions maintain high academic ambition.

Here there are live timetabled classroom sessions (1 to 12 group ratios) for suspended, off-site, or part-time learners.

SOW Continuity

The platform's algorithm uses your school's SOW to automatically place learners into live, timetabled sessions led by UK-qualified teachers between 9 am and 4 pm.

Real-time Group Differentiation

While in a group of 1 to 12 learners, the QTS live teacher receives pre-session data insights on each learner's SOW progression and reading age.

Live Adaptations

The teacher utilises differentiated slides, Bloom’s Taxonomy-aligned questioning, and real-time task adjustments so the learner stays synchronised with their mainstream peers' learning objectives.

These are private, small-group teaching sessions and diagnostic catch-up for closing specific skill deficits.

SOW Continuity

As learners progress through EDInclude or EDLive, EDTeach continuously analyses performance data against your SOW targets.

Precision Remediation

If a learner fails to demonstrate mastery in a specific sub-topic (e.g., Cell Biology: Mitosis), EDTeach automatically generates a targeted gap-closing pathway.

Stigma-free Small Groups

Learners receive private invitations to small-group live seminars. Conducted in virtual spaces where peers cannot see or hear each other, EDTeach removes peer comparison anxiety while repairing exact curriculum deficits.

Summary for Leadership and MAT Executives

By mapping your school’s schemes of work across EDInclude, EDLive, and EDTeach, EDClass guarantees that a learner leaving the mainstream classroom for an hour, a day, or a term never falls behind.


Every task, live session, and diagnostic assessment feeds into a centralised digital record—providing school leads, SENCos, and trust executives with audit-proof evidence of uninterrupted curriculum continuity.

Aligning AP and Inclusion Bases with UK Statutory Frameworks

The UK education landscape has shifted significantly. Schools and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) face strict statutory mandates regarding attendance tracking, exclusion protocols, and inclusion base management.

Structured Pathways: Topics, Sub-topics and Precision Pacing

The EDClass curriculum is organised into clear, intuitive learning trees that mirror mainstream classroom progression, ensuring smooth reintegration.

Tailored Pathways

Learners are assigned specific academic pathways based on their key stage, EHCP targets, or diagnostic entry points.

Granular Topics and Sub-topics

Core modules are broken down into bite-sized sub-topics, allowing learners to master fundamental concepts before advancing.

Reading Age Accessibility

Curriculum content and instructions are calibrated to specific reading ages. Text-to-speech tools, simplified vocabulary modes, and visual scaffolding ensure complex subject matter is accessible to pupils reading below their chronological age.

Diagnostic Assessment and Adaptive Teaching Strategies

EDClass does not use a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Every learner’s journey begins and evolves through continuous, intelligent evaluation.

Curriculum

Diagnostic Assessment

Baseline Skill Mapping

Pinpoints exact learning gaps, misconceptions, and prior knowledge across core subjects.

Automated Placement

Directly maps the diagnostic outcome to a custom pathway, ensuring learners are never placed in content that is too easy or overwhelming.

Adaptive Teaching Strategies and Bloom’s Taxonomy

As learners progress through lessons and live sessions, our algorithms and the EDClass teachers employ adaptive strategies structured around Bloom’s Taxonomy, our adaptive assessment and engaging teaching and learning mechanisms.

Dynamic Differentiation

Adjusts task difficulty based on Pace, Time Taken, and Demonstrated Ability.

Tiered Tasking

Offers scaffolded prompts for confidence-building alongside extension challenges for higher attainers.
