• EDLive: Small-group, highly focused live timetabled lessons (1:1 to 1:5 ratio) centred on structured PSHE modules, Relationships and Sex Education (RSE), Health Education, emotional literacy, curriculum objectives, and core personal development.
• EDTeach: Targeted intervention sessions delivered on a 1:1 or up to 1:3 ratio, designed around key focus points to directly diagnose and address specific barriers to learning, self-regulation, resilience-building, and personal wellbeing.
