Prospectus: Summer Trial '26

Our Vision

At Esse School we provide small-group online-tuition for  trans and non-binary young people who are struggling to access mainstream education due to anxiety, bullying, isolation, exclusion, unmet needs, or a loss of confidence in traditional school environments. 

Our Values

Our organization is built on a foundation of compassion, integrity, and accountability. Students are supported across educational topics without fear of bullying, discrimination, or ridicule. Our staff use inclusive language, build positive relationships, and create classrooms where education is prioritised over culture wars.

Our Team

Our team is made up of dedicated professionals and volunteers who are passionate about making a difference in our community.  We are committed to using our resources in the most effective and efficient way possible, with a focus on community provision and accessibility.  

Small Groups, Individual Attention

Students often find that learning in smaller groups feels less intimidating and more manageable than mainstream classrooms. One of the key strengths of our provision is our small-group model. Smaller classes allow teachers to:

  • Build strong, trusting relationships with students
  • Adapt teaching to individual needs
  • Reduce pressure and overwhelm
  • Encourage participation at each student’s comfort level
  • Provide regular personalised feedback
  • Identify barriers to learning quickly
