Partnership overview

Designed for students who are capable, but not currently thriving full-time.

KSI Academy is opening conversations with selected international schools around a Shared Pathway Partnership for students who are capable, but not currently able to thrive in full-time mainstream attendance.

The model allows a student to remain enrolled and connected to their school while attending KSI for personalised learning, mentoring, wellbeing support, and confidence rebuilding. The goal is not school exit, but stabilisation, readiness, and, where appropriate, reintegration.

A stronger support offer for schools

The Shared Pathway gives schools a thoughtful outsourced partner for students who need more personalised support than the school can provide on-site. Instead of losing a student completely, or leaving teachers to carry a situation that may be affecting the classroom rhythm, the school can offer families a constructive pathway that protects the school relationship, supports retention, and keeps reintegration in view.

Shared wins

What each party gains from the pathway

Student

Space, rhythm, mentoring, and personalised learning support.

Family

Connection to the school community without a premature full exit.

School

A credible referral pathway that supports retention, wellbeing, and family confidence.

KSI

An off-site bridge with clear goals, review points, and reintegration intention.

Partnership principles

How KSI works with schools, families, and students: a designed bridge, not a reduced timetable with no plan.

1

School identifies a student

With parent consent, the school introduces a student who may benefit from an additional pathway.

2

KSI joins the school and family

KSI joins the conversation with the school and meets the family to understand the student profile, needs, strengths, and current barriers.

3

Goals and schedule are agreed

KSI, the family, and where appropriate the school agree on goals, schedule, and review rhythm.

4

Student attends a learning studio

The student attends at least one KSI Learning Studio from 9am to 1pm, while remaining connected to school.

5

Review readiness and next steps

The pathway is reviewed regularly with reintegration or transition criteria in mind.

Six partnership principles: These reassure school teams that a Shared Pathway is handled carefully: with respect for the school, parent consent, clear communication, and review points that keep the arrangement purposeful.

We protect the school relationship

KSI does not position itself against the school. The pathway is framed as additional support for a student who needs a different rhythm for a period of time.

We avoid blame

The conversation is handled as a developmental support pathway, not as a judgment on the school, the parent, or the child.

We communicate with consent

Information sharing with the school happens only with appropriate parent consent, so families understand what is being discussed and why.

We make roles clear

The school, KSI, parents, and student each understand their responsibilities, including who the main contact people are.

We review the pathway

Each arrangement has check-in points so the pathway stays intentional and does not become indefinite by default.

We keep the next step in view

Where appropriate, the aim is to help the student rebuild readiness for fuller school participation or make a thoughtful transition plan.

Shared Pathway arrangements can be discussed case by case depending on the student schedule, school partnership structure, and agreed level of support. KSI recommends at least one full studio, because eight weeks is the minimum time needed to bring meaningful change into action.

Suggested first step

A low-risk way for a school to explore the pathway.

A school can begin by asking a few internal questions, then choosing one appropriate student or family to explore a short pathway with clear goals and a review window.

School discussion prompts

  • Which students are hardest to support within full-time mainstream attendance?
  • What options currently exist between staying full-time and withdrawing completely?
  • What would the school need to feel comfortable introducing KSI as a pathway partner?
  • How should attendance, safeguarding, parent communication, curriculum alignment, and reintegration be handled?
01

The school identifies one student where full-time attendance is no longer working, then opens the conversation with the parent.

02

KSI joins the conversation with the parent and school to agree on a 6-8 week pathway, including goals, schedule, and review date.

03

Set the support triangle: parent, student, and KSI, with the school connected through a named school liaison and clear communication rhythm.

04

KSI and the school review whether the student is stabilising, rebuilding learning rhythm, and staying constructively connected to school.
