A supportive environment for students with SEND

A calm environment for nurturing young minds

Wendover Online School is a full-time, independent online school offering live, high-quality education for students from Key Stage 2 through A-Level.

Since 2016, we have supported students across the UK and internationally, combining academic excellence with a personalised, nurturing approach — especially for those with SEND.

Our teachers adapt pace, language, and structure based on individual needs and maintain close communication with families.

Teamwork in education

Our small class sizes, a calm online environment and individualised support systems make us an ideal alternative provision for students who struggle in mainstream or physical school settings.

Let’s help you get the best academic support and school experience for your child.
