Online Alternitve Provision: Want to learn and succeed with Video Games & Life Skills? This is the place for you. A Thoughtfully Designed, Learner-Centred Online Experience.
Our online alternative provision courses are built around the individual needs of each student, offering a flexible, structured, and supportive environment where learners can thrive. Many neurodiverse students find online learning especially beneficial. The ability to learn from a familiar, low-stimulation setting can reduce anxiety and sensory overwhelm. Customisable communication options and consistent routines provide a sense of predictability and control—key elements for supporting focus, emotional regulation, and confidence.
Each session begins with a check-in, allowing tutors to connect and see how students are feeling. The day ends with time set aside for social connection and relaxation through games, quizzes, or low-pressure group conversations—supporting not just academic growth, but also social development and emotional well-being.
Working with our SEN students in an inclusive learning environment, whether in-house or online, we aim to rebuild their confidence and encourage their participation in learning. We work closely with SENCOs and Local Authorities, using our young people’s voices, to create a bespoke pathway back into mainstream education or to support the student in progressing through our levels, helping them move towards independence in their adult life.
Students log in at the same time each day, guided by the same dedicated tutor throughout their course. This consistency fosters trust and allows tutors to build strong, supportive relationships with each learner. Scheduled breaks are taken at the same time daily, helping to establish a dependable rhythm.
Our online classrooms are welcoming and adaptable. Students are free to take regulation breaks when needed and can access a one-on-one support room at any time. Communication is flexible—students can choose to use a microphone or chat, depending on their comfort level. Cameras are only required during registration, not during lessons.

Customisable communication options and consistent routines provide a sense of predictability and control—key elements for supporting focus, emotional regulation, and confidence.
For autistic learners, the quieter, more predictable nature of online learning can help minimise sensory challenges and social pressure, creating a more comfortable space for engagement and learning. The option to communicate via chat, avoid video, and access support one-on-one allows for meaningful participation without added stress.
Students with ADHD benefit from the clear structure, shorter transition times, and fewer classroom distractions that online learning can offer. Scheduled breaks, opportunities for movement, and the ability to access individual support when focus dips all help maintain attention and reduce frustration.
” I stumbled across EOB, whilst searching for a good Gaming course for my twins who have special needs. Well…..I am so happy that I did stumble across them as WOW, its been a God send. Mainstream higher education were just not able to do what EOB are doing for my twins. The staff are brilliant, the course is brilliant, the support they recieve is also brilliant. EOB is fantastic on all levels but especially for children/young adults who have a love for gaming but struggle in mainstream settings due to SEN. Thank you so much to everyone for all that they have done/do for us. Big pat on the back …also Tracy the online (Head Teacher) is so lovely and is always there for you if you need help or advice”
His technical and creative abilities have really had a chance to shine and he has learnt a lot while having fun too. He gets on with everything independently, is supported well by his tutor and engages online with the other students. Very happy to see him so involved with what's on offer at Enemy Of Boredom Academy.
