KS3 Home Study Courses

Yes. Our KS3 courses are designed for flexible home study. Students can work through structured online course materials from home, with clear lessons, activities, self-assessment opportunities and assignments linked to the course.

The courses are suitable for home educated students, students who are temporarily out of school, and students who need extra support alongside school.

Key Stage 3 usually covers Years 7, 8 and 9 in England and Wales. It is the stage between primary education and GCSE study, helping students build stronger subject knowledge, confidence and independent study habits.

We offer KS3 home study courses in Maths, English, Science, History, Geography, Spanish and PSHE and Citizenship.

Each subject has its own information page, where you can see the available Year 7, Year 8 and Year 9 courses and choose the level that best matches your child.

Most students start with the course that broadly matches their school year: Year 7, Year 8 or Year 9. However, home study gives families more flexibility, so it is often better to choose based on confidence, previous study and readiness rather than age alone.

A student who needs to strengthen earlier knowledge may benefit from starting with Year 7, while a confident student may be ready for Year 8 or Year 9.

Yes. Many home-educated students work at different levels in different subjects. Your child might be ready for Year 8 English while studying Year 7 Maths, or Year 9 History while studying Year 8 Science.

The best choice is the level that matches your child’s current confidence, knowledge and skills in each subject.

No. You can choose the individual subjects your child needs. Some families choose a broad KS3 programme, while others focus on a smaller number of subjects where their child needs structure, confidence or preparation for GCSE.

Yes. Many families begin with one or two subjects and add more once the student has settled into a regular study routine. This can be a good way to build confidence without taking on too much at once.

Each course is designed to provide structured study for a Key Stage 3 year level, but the exact pace will depend on the student, the subject and the amount of time available each week.

Home study allows families to work at a pace that suits the child, while still following a clear course structure.

Yes. KS3 study helps students build the knowledge, skills and confidence they need before moving on to GCSE or IGCSE courses.

Year 9 courses are particularly useful for students who are approaching GCSE-level study, as they help consolidate Key Stage 3 knowledge and introduce more advanced skills.

Yes. Tutor support is available to help students when they need advice, reassurance or feedback. Tutor marking and feedback for assignments is available as an optional add-on, so families can choose the level of support they want.

All our courses offer optional printed course packs for students who prefer working from paper as well as online. Lonks to purchase options are shown on the individual course pages.

Our course subscriptions have a minimum subscription period of six months. After that, subscriptions can usually be cancelled in line with the subscription terms.

6 months is not how long we recommend the course takes.  Most students subscribe between 9 and 18 months before sitting their exams.
