A welcome from our founder
Welcome to Net School
I am delighted to be able to tell you more about us and how we can support your child in the next steps on their learning journey.
Having taught in both the state and private sector before moving into online teaching, I launched Net School in 2013. We work with the best and most engaging teachers who make learning fun, and we offer the subjects that parents most want, in the way that best suits their individual needs.
At Net School, we work hard to ensure your child gets the personal, focused attention they need to help them succeed.

Families like yours
Families come to us for all sorts of reasons
Here are four of them, each with a word from a Net School family.
Home educating
Take only the subjects you want, at the hours that fit what you already have in place. Nothing here assumes a full timetable.
“Of all the tutors we have used and groups we have organised, none have been as well planned or run as Net School.”
Zoe, parent — home educating four children for seven years
School has stopped working
Small live classes, the same teacher every week, and a pace that can be set around your child rather than a year group.
“For a child who used to be absent from school at least two days a week for three years, you and your team have turned him 360 degrees.”
Ashraf, parent
Working ahead, or catching up
Students do not have to join the course that matches their age. If your child is ready to move faster, or needs longer, we place them where the work is right.
“The classes being so intimate really make a group atmosphere, and all the individual attention from teachers really makes a difference.”
Naomi, former student
Living overseas
Lessons run to UK time on British syllabi, and students overseas can sit their exams at a centre near them.
“He is enjoying every single course deeply and he’s definitely doing his best to succeed.”
Anna, parent of a former student
“A calm, thoughtful, child-centred environment”

We are so proud of our students
Taught by subject specialists, many of whom are also examiners, Net School students can achieve outstanding results.
But our students are not only focused on their academic studies. We have many examples of our students reaching the highest levels in sports, theatre, robotics, golf, songwriting and performing, video making, slime retailing… an online learner certainly does not have to be at home on the computer all day.
How it works
Live lessons, small classes, from your own home
Your child learns live, in a small class, with a qualified subject specialist — wherever you happen to be.
Simple technology
All you need is a standard computer, laptop or tablet and a reliable broadband connection. All our lessons are recorded, so if your child misses a week, it’s easy to catch up.
Parents involved
You can easily monitor progress through our online learning management system and regular written feedback from your child’s teachers. We’re always available to answer any queries.
Free clubs and more
Art Club, Creative Writing and the Net School Newspaper have all run recently, and there is no charge for any of them.
Included in every place

Work out your fees in a minute
Tick the subjects your child would like to study and you will see the cost for the term. There is no minimum — families studying one subject are as welcome as those studying ten, and 10% off the whole timetable at ten hours a week or more.
All fees include VAT. Charged termly, by bank transfer, at least a week before term starts — invoices go out at the end of the previous term. IGCSE fees shown are Year 10 for entry in September 2026. A Level tuition is individual and priced on enquiry.
In their own words
What our families say

Questions
Things parents often ask
Do we have to take a full timetable?
No. You choose as many or as few subjects as you need. Families who study ten hours a week or more get 10% off the whole timetable, but there is no minimum.
Does my child have to join the year group that matches their age?
No — and this is one of the real advantages of an online school. Students can work at their own speed, above or below their age group. Talk to us and we will place them where the work is right.
How does my child sit their exams?
Students register as private candidates at a local exam centre. We are a learning partner of Tutors and Exams, so our students may claim a Learning Partner discount when registering. Entering your child and paying the centre’s fees is the parent’s responsibility.
How are fees charged?
Termly, by bank transfer, at least one week before term starts. Invoices go out at the end of the previous term and set out clearly what is due.
Will we need to buy textbooks?
Some subjects will, particularly at IGCSE and A Level. We tell you which before your child starts.
Which exam boards do you teach?
Our IGCSE courses follow Pearson Edexcel, with Latin and Computer Science on the Cambridge (CIE) syllabi. We are also an Arts Award centre, a UCAS registered centre, and have been on the UK Register of Learning Providers since 2013 under UKPRN 10041636.
