📅 Book a 15-minute callPurple Ruler is a DfE-registered online alternative provision service (URN 152279). Qualified, experienced teachers deliver live lessons in small groups, with real-time oversight and termly reporting, as an extension of your own team.
Full managed online alternative provision for pupils who are out of school, in groups of up to six, nationwide. For exclusion, anxiety and medical cases.
Live group teaching inside your own systems and on your scheme of work. For reintegration, behaviour, EBSA, gap-filling and exam groups.
One-to-one and very small group, SEND-informed. The default for pupils with EHCPs and those at risk of exclusion.
Group stretch and exam preparation for capable pupils under-performing against their targets.
One-to-one therapeutic support for pupils with EBSA, anxiety or emotional barriers to attending. Runs alongside any other model.
We work with schools across Birmingham, including Hamstead Hall Academy, which uses us for curriculum-matched small-group lessons for pupils struggling to access the classroom, around six pupils. We'd be glad to do the same alongside the team at Lordswood Boys' School.
