How Latitude works

A clear path from sign-up to mastery.

Built on Rosenshine’s principles of direct instruction: the same structure used in strong classrooms, made to work at home.

See pricingWalk the full route
01

Take the placement assessment

A short assessment at sign-up routes your child to the right starting point in each subject, including the Higher or Foundation tier in Maths.

02

Build your child's pathway

Choose the subjects and real-world skills that fit your family. Reorder and add modules any time.

03

Learn with mastery gating

Direct-instruction lessons unlock as your child demonstrates they're ready. They progress on performance, not the calendar.

04

Track everything as a parent

Your dashboard shows completion, mastery and weekly progress: the evidence you need, at a glance.

Three differentiation lanes

Start where your child is, not where a calendar says.

A placement assessment routes every learner to the right lane. They move up as they master the work, and can switch lanes as they grow.

Higher

Stretch and depth for learners aiming at the top grades.

Grades 4–9

Foundation

Secure the core content and build steady, lasting confidence.

Grades 1–5

Consolidation

Pre-GCSE foundations and Functional Skills, mastered one step at a time.

Pre-GCSE
Exam guidance

Wondering how the exams actually work? Here’s exactly what happens.

01

All qualifications are available to private candidates

Your child does not need to be registered at a school to sit these exams. IGCSE and GCSE qualifications are fully accessible to home-educated students as private candidates.

02

We signpost exam centres near you

You book directly with a registered exam centre. We provide guidance on how to find one and what to expect, including costs, registration deadlines, and what your child needs to bring.

03

Just two exam boards across six subjects

Maths, English Language, English Literature, Science (Double Award) and Geography are International GCSEs (IGCSE) with Pearson Edexcel. Psychology is a GCSE with AQA. Just two boards across six subjects means simpler admin, fewer registration processes, and less to manage.

Exam fees are paid directly to the centre, typically £50–100 per subject. We’re transparent about this from the start.
Our promises

Built by someone who’s seen what schools get wrong.

Four promises we make to every family. Deliberately, and in writing.

Progress, not pressure

You see clear working-at bands — secure, in progress, next — never raw scores or predicted grades. Children get feedback, not a leaderboard.

Humans check the AI

The AI adapts its explanations to your child, with endless patience. Subject specialists review every lesson before it reaches them — and you can see everything your child learns.

Exams, demystified

Your child sits IGCSEs and GCSEs as a private candidate at a local exam centre, typically £50–100 per subject paid to the centre. We’re transparent about this from day one, and we help you arrange it.

How private candidacy works

Your child’s data is not for sale

No child data sold, ever. The dashboard exists for you and your child, not for advertisers.

Simple, honest pricing

A full GCSE education for less than a single tutoring session.

Three ways in: families, Alternative Provision, and Local Authorities.

The honest maths

One subscription. Every subject. Better value than you think.

£800–1,200 / student / year

Questions, answered

The things every family asks first.

What does it cost, all in?

£35 a month for one child, covering every subject we offer — Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 4, with the Life Skills curriculum included. The placement assessment is free, and you can cancel anytime.

The only other cost is exam entry when the time comes: typically £50–100 per subject, paid directly to your exam centre, never to us.

Are these real qualifications?

Yes. IGCSEs and GCSEs are awarded by Pearson Edexcel and AQA — the same boards schools use. Your child enters as a private candidate through an approved exam centre, and we help you arrange it.

What if my child is behind?

That’s exactly what the placement assessment is for. It finds where your child genuinely is, not where their school year says they should be — and the Consolidation lane rebuilds missed ground before GCSE-level work begins.

How does the AI teaching actually work?

Lessons are mastery-gated: your child moves on when they’ve shown they’re ready, never before. If an explanation doesn’t land, the AI tries another way — there are six ways to explain the same idea — with endless patience.

Subject specialists review every lesson before it reaches your child, and you can see everything they learn throughout.

How do I know it’s working?

You get a weekly progress email and a live dashboard showing each subject’s working-at band at a glance, rather than raw scores. It’s evidence you can show anyone who asks about your provision.

How do exams work without a school?

Your child sits the papers as a private candidate at a local approved exam centre. Entry is typically £50–100 per subject, paid to the centre. We’re transparent about this from the start and help you arrange it. The certificate comes from Pearson Edexcel or AQA, exactly as it would from a school.

What happens to my child’s data?

No child data sold, ever. Progress data exists so you and your child can see the route — nothing else.

Can we cancel?

Yes, anytime. Latitude is monthly rolling, with no lock-in. If it isn’t working for your family, you stop paying.

our commitment — your child

Every child deserves a full education. So do you.
