Flexible Learning with Nisai: Supporting Your Child through Flexi-Schooling

At Nisai, we understand that every child’s learning journey is unique. Our online homeschooling courses allow you to create a personalised education pathway that fits your child’s individual needs.

Through a flexi-schooling approach, we combine the structure of high-quality teaching with the flexibility of learning from home.

Flexi schooling is an arrangement where a child is registered at a mainstream school but attends on a part-time timetable. For the rest of the week, learning takes place at home or online. Unlike home education alone, flexi schooling remains part of a child’s official full-time education plan, with the school marking attendance for agreed days.

This practice is increasingly recognised across the UK, with guidance available from local authorities. While schools have discretion over flexi schooling requests, many families find that a shared approach between home and school creates a more balanced education.

Parents may request flexi schooling when full-time attendance at a mainstream school does not fully meet their child’s needs. Common reasons include:

  • Medical or mental health conditions.
  • Special Educational Needs (SEN) or sensory processing differences.
  • High levels of anxiety around regular attendance.
  • A wish for flexible learning options that allow time for family, rest, or additional interests.

 

Flexi schooling makes it possible for pupils to stay connected with school friends, teachers, and the wider community, while also benefiting from the ability to learn at home at a pace and structure that suits them.

Nisai partners with parents, schools, and local authorities to create clear, practical timetables. When your child is learning at home, they join live, teacher-led online lessons in subjects such as maths, English, and science.

We provide:

  • Regular teacher feedback on written assignments.
  • Clear progress updates shared with parents and schools.
  • Flexible timetables that meet your child’s individual needs.
  • Wellbeing support alongside academic teaching.

 

Our role is to ensure your child does not miss out on education. Instead, they gain the confidence and skills to succeed while reducing the strain of full-time school.

Explore the Nisai curriculum to see how flexi education fits into your child’s pathway.

It’s important to understand how flexi education works in practice:

  • Parents make a request to the school headteacher. Approval is at the school’s discretion.
  • Attendance is marked for the agreed part-time timetable.
  • Schools remain responsible for education on the days your child attends.
  • Parents take responsibility for learning at home, supported by Nisai.


This shared responsibility ensures your child continues to receive a complete and balanced education. You can read more about our
