Flexible course provision for institutions
Keep subject choice open—even when staffing or cohort size makes it difficult
Oxford Home Schooling gives schools, colleges and other institutions a practical way to provide established online courses, printed materials and tutor support without having to build a complete in-house class.
Apply for an institutional account to view annual learner-place options on our subject pages. Approved institutions can configure packages, order by invoice and allocate learners afterwards.
There is no charge to apply. Once approved, sign in to browse institutional packages and prices on the subject pages.
Start with an institutional account
Apply once, then browse and order institutional packages online
Institutional package options are shown on our subject pages only to approved institutional users. Your account gives your school, college or organisation a dedicated route for choosing annual learner places.

See annual learner-place packages and institutional support choices.
Order by invoice
Approved institutions can place orders through the institutional invoicing route.
Allocate learners later
Purchase places first, then add individual learner details when ready.
We review applications so that institutional purchasing and learner management are available only to authorised organisations.
Where institutional provision helps
Practical support for the gaps that are hardest to solve in-house
The service is designed for situations where a learner still needs a credible course and a clear route through it, but a normal timetabled class is not practical.
Staffing pressure
Teacher vacancy or long-term absence
Keep learners moving through a structured course while recruitment, cover or a return-to-work plan is being resolved.
Small cohorts
A subject chosen by only a few learners
Preserve curriculum breadth without needing a full class, a dedicated timetable block or a specialist teacher for a very small group.
Sixth-form flexibility
A level choice beyond the normal timetable
Help an individual learner or small sixth-form cohort pursue a subject that would otherwise be unavailable because of staffing, option blocks or demand.
International schools
Access to UK course pathways
Add suitable UK-based course provision for learners studying overseas, including international examination pathways where the relevant course is available.
Timetable constraints
A learner who cannot attend the normal class
Provide a structured alternative where subject clashes, attendance arrangements or individual circumstances make the ordinary class unsuitable.
Alternative provision
A clear academic route outside a conventional classroom
Support supervised independent study in a school, college, local authority or other approved institutional setting.
Build the right level of support
Start with annual course access, then add only what each cohort needs
Institutional packages are configurable per learner place. A cohort can have course access alone or a fuller package including printed materials, marking and tutor support.
Core provision
Annual online course access
Structured course content for the selected academic year, available through the learner's online account.
Included in every learner place
Optional
Printed course materials
A printed course pack for learners who prefer, require or benefit from working away from the screen.
Optional
Assignment marking
Tutor marking and feedback on the assignments included in the selected course.
Optional
Practice exam marking
Marking and feedback on the available examination-practice papers to support preparation and identify areas for improvement.
Optional
Annual Email Tutor Support
Brief course-related help and guidance from the learner's allocated subject tutor throughout the academic-year entitlement.
Institutional purchasing
Pay by invoice
Approved institutional accounts can place orders through the institutional invoicing route rather than using a consumer checkout.
Arranged separately
Live one-to-one tuition
Additional live tuition can be arranged separately where a learner needs more direct teaching or regular individual support.
Straightforward institutional ordering
Purchase the places first and allocate the learners later
This keeps procurement separate from learner setup and avoids collecting student details before the institution is ready to provide them.

Built around institutional realities
Flexible enough for one learner, structured enough for a cohort
The institution keeps control of purchasing and learner allocation, while each learner receives their own account, course access and purchased entitlements.
- Buy one place or several identical places
- Allocate learners after the order is placed
- Use a unique learner login rather than a shared account
- Choose support separately for different cohorts
- Keep institutional purchasing separate from learner activity
- Place approved institutional orders by invoice
- Use the institutional account to manage allocations
