Personalised learning meeting
Our induction process includes a personalised learning meeting. During this time we discover what motivates and engages students, what their ambitions and targets are for the future. We use this information to agree next steps and assign the best placed mentor for their needs.
Every step of the meeting is collaborative and supportive, enabling students to take ownership of their journey with us.
How students learn
The learning space
Once students are enrolled on their chosen subject or programmes, they join a google classroom for each subject. Students will find learning booklets and learning resources to complete at their own pace and join the live learning links for lessons.
Learning and feedback
Student receive regular and targeted verbal feedback throughout live lessons and receive personalised written feedback for all work submitted via google classroom.
What equipment do student’s need?
Students need to have access to a computer or laptop with a camera, a headset and a space to work at such as a desk or table. You need a personal email address to access google classroom from. If you are accessing The Phoenix Project as a provision through your current school, they may be able to support you, to ensure you have the equipment you need. Student’s won’t be able to complete online learning effectively using just a mobile phone.
Timetables and routine
One of the greatest advantages of learning with Phoenix is the flexibility it affords. Live tutoring takes place from 9:20am every morning, this is a 20 minute session. Lessons follow a weekly timetable and mentoring can take place at a time and pace that suits you. Some students will benefit from setting a routine and sticking to times for completing certain subjects, others will prefer to work around other commitments or pick up work as they feel able and focused.
Exams
Dual rolled students
If a student is dual rolled (this means they are a member of a school who pay for them to access The Phoenix Project), they will sit their GCSE or functional skills exams at their school. We will
communicate with your school to make sure your child sits the correct paper and is fully prepared for the
exam.
Home educated students
Families of home educated students are responsible for booking and paying for national exams
themselves. You will need to find a private exam centre early and work with them to enter, pay and sit the
correct exams. We may be able to help you find a private exam centre to help with this process.
Safeguarding
Safeguarding students is our greatest priority. If you are worried about the safety or wellbeing of a Phoenix Project student contact us immediately at safeguarding@thephoenixproject.org.uk
If you believe them to be in immediate danger contact 999.
