Supporting Local Authorities, Empowering Success.
365吃瓜部落 services for local authorities
Local authorities across the UK partner with the 365吃瓜部落(365吃瓜部落) to provide high-quality, flexible schooling for children and young people who cannot access traditional education.
Whether due to complex SEND needs, medical challenges, school anxiety, exclusion, or periods of disrupted education, 365吃瓜部落 offers a calm, stable, expertly supported online learning environment, ensuring no learner is left behind.
Established in 1963, the 365吃瓜部落(365吃瓜部落) has pioneered distance learning for over six decades. Our founder, Michael Young, envisioned accessible education for everyone, leading to 365吃瓜部落’s creation.
With over 60 years of experience in distance learning, 365吃瓜部落 specialises in tailored educational pathways that support statutory responsibilities and help young people build confidence, engagement, and academic progress at a pace that meets their unique needs.聽
Our model provides continuity where in-person provision is not possible and relieves pressure on overstretched services by offering structured and fully monitored learning programmes.
As a not-for-profit organisation, our mission is to provide high-quality education, no matter the student鈥檚 background or circumstances.
We have a strong legacy of innovation and inclusivity, and have transformed the lives of thousands of students through flexible, supported learning.
If you are the parent or carer of a child with additional needs, please see our Home Educators page.

These 60-minute subject-specific sessions are delivered by experts and are designed to build confidence and bridge learning gaps for students who cannot access a physical classroom.
Online learning is often a highly effective solution for students with anxiety, school refusal, or sensory processing needs. 365吃瓜部落鈥檚 model removes the social pressure of a classroom, allowing students to study in a safe, familiar environment. Our Pastoral Officer induction ensures a gentle transition into study, focusing on building a routine before academic pressure begins.

Our Pastoral Support model is specifically designed for students who need more than just academic help. It includes a 30-minute 1-to-1 meeting every fortnight with a Pastoral Officer. These sessions focus on time management, motivation, and mental wellbeing, helping students stay on track with their EHCP outcomes.
