About EK Outreach Services
Our mission is to re-engage students in education. EK Outreach Services is a SEND tuition service providing educational support to Local Authorities and Schools. Our trained and dedicated staff are led by a skilled and experienced leadership team. We work with children and young people aged 5 to 25.
Students can be taught at their homes, in public settings such as libraries or wherever they feel comfortable. They also have the opportunity to use vocational facilities. Our aim is to improve the learning outcomes of children and young people for whom education is a challenge due to their SEND needs, SEMH needs, or other reasons which may prevent them from fully accessing education.

FAQs
Do you hold exams? What if they struggle to leave the home?
Yes, we hold exams including but not limited to Functional Skills, GCSE’s, A Levels, BTEC, Level 2 and 3 Access Courses. Depending on the child’s needs and access arrangements, these can sometimes be taken in the home setting under exam conditions.
What needs do you work with?
We work with a variety of needs including but not limited to dyslexia, dyspraxia, mental health, ADHD, ADD, ASD, ODD, OCD, medical needs, those with communication difficulties, eating disorders, EBD, cognition and learning difficulties, social, emotional, and health difficulties, and sensory and/or physical needs.
What if the student doesn't hold an EHCP?
If the EHCP is in process, we can look into starting admission with us. However, if the student does not hold an EHCP, our advice is always to start the process of applying for an EHCP assessment through the parent or school setting. If this is not possible, there are sometimes other agencies that will allow us to work with the student.
Do they have lessons with other children?
In the main, our pupils are taught 2:1, however there are opportunities to work with peers outside of academic lessons.
Do you have social activities where they can meet their peers?
Yes, we encourage our students to interact with and support each other at our internal events such as our Winter Showcase talent show, Awards Evening, and Sports Day.
Can lessons take place outside of the home?
This is possible once our staff have established a rapport with the student.
Can your staff take them out of the house?
Where we are able to work 2:1 with students, we are able to take them out of the home to other settings for lessons, as well as for trips with parent/carer permission.
What we do
Pupil-centred provision for young people that goes beyond academics.
Reviews
Don't just take our word for it. Read some of the reviews from our students and parents below:
It has been great and [is going] so well. The teacher is here at the moment for his second session. I can't believe what we have achieved in a week of learning. She loves it. There have been no problems or issues. It has all gone so smoothly. Thank you so much for making it work in such a short space of time!
Parent
The tutors are lovely and they have all been great - they are helping [our child] so much.
Parent
Thank you very much for the timely update, dear Michael. You are a very amazing coordinator – A+! Wishing you a wonderful day ahead.
Parent
The tutors at EK Outreach have been fantastic and I would love them to stay on next year. You have all been so supportive with everything that’s been going on.
Parent
The teacher is brilliant, the boys have never had a teacher like her. The boys have learnt a lot, the mentor is also really good. The boys really like all of the staff, including the Coordinator.
Parent
So Happy! My child has just accepted their offer for college. What a journey; I am so so proud of him and now excited for his future. So grateful for you and and your team.
Parent
So so happy (and relieved!) he passed all 3 GCSES and will now go to the college he wants to. Thank you so much for everything you have done.
Parent
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your help and support over the last few months. My son has really flourished with homeschooling and really has bonded with all his tutors. Although home schooling was not planned, I feel his academic ability has really improved over the last few months with the teaching that has been done by the EK team.He will be sorry to say goodbye to everyone this week.
Parent
It looks like the reassurance of his home environment is a key part of him being comfortable enough to learn at EK Outreach. He has a rapport with his English teacher because they get him. He knows when not to push him too hard. Regular breaks are important for him to be able to process what he’s learning while not being overwhelmed.
Parent
Our child has been learning and engaging well with tutors at EK Outreach. We have seen an improvement in his levels of anxiety and state of mental health as he does not have to deal with a school environment.
Parent
Homeschooling with EK Outreach has been amazing for my child, I have never seen him produce so much work and focus as well as he has whilst being at home. He is far less anxious as he’s in a ‘safe space’ with far fewer distractions and people. Not having to travel to and from school (which caused him so much anxiety) has been incredibly beneficial.
Parent
At EK Outreach, they have good teachers and management who are always flexible, amazing and always champion my child.
Parent
Staff at EK Outreach have taken the time to get to know my child. Staff are proactive in helping my child to make progress. Their mentor has gone above and beyond in helping them develop their life skills and independence skills working towards their future aspirations.
Parent
We are grateful for your great communication and continued support. He has had a lot of changes in his life recently and we really appreciate your sensitivity and gentle approach to his education. Hopefully he will be more settled in the next term.
Parent
I enjoy my life skills lessons, my cooking is getting better, when I live alone I will be able to feed myself.

As always it is a pleasure to work along side the team. I want to thank you and the office team for the Excellent support you’ve provided me throughout the term.

My aim is to go to university – now I feel I can get there.
