The challenge

A Year 11 learner who refused to attend school for two years during the COVID pandemic.

They were previously a capable learner, but had been diagnosed with ASD, Asperger’s, OCD and heightened anxiety. Fleet’s task was to help the young person to catch up and to re-engage with their educational setting.

Our approach

Subject specialists delivered six hours per week of tuition, having to avoid auditory stimulus and flex their daily approach depending on learner feelings. They sourced and developed materials to prompt and develop interactivity, and accounted for OCD behaviours without drawing reference to them.

The result

In just nine months, the learner sat four GCSEs and had caught up on over two years of work, attaining grades 4, 5, 5, and 6. The learner went on to a GCSE in Business Studies and achieved a 92% attendance record.

Our approach

Fleet’s Programme Manager developed a solution to the learner’s unwillingness to speak to anyone except family or a case worker, or to appear on-screen. Lessons were delivered online as lectures, with feedback from a case worker after each session.
