Unlocking Potential with EDClass

Hyde High School successfully tackled student anxiety and Emotional Based Non-Attendance (EBNA) using EDClass as a core part of its ‘Harbour Reconnect’ alternative provision. The system was essential for providing a full-time education to pupils who found the main school environment “overwhelming.”

• Secure Curriculum Continuity: EDClass ensures students who are absent receive a full-time, specialist education in an environment where they feel “calm and regulated.” This provision, which is particularly effective for students with SEMH needs, guarantees they make the same progress as their peers.

• Enhanced Safeguarding and Efficiency: The platform provides reliable “eyes on the student,” eliminating the need for constant staff welfare checks, thus acting as a huge time saver. This frees up school staff to focus on the vital work of building “lasting and trusting relationships” so that school can become a safe space again.

• Effective Reintegration Tool: The resource is vital for the school’s transitional period strategy. By providing a safe, accessible learning environment, the school can work towards a hybrid offer that gradually brings students back into the school community, avoiding the main anxiety triggers of busy corridors and classrooms.
