day 6 provision
Supporting Pupils When It Matters Most
Periods of exclusion can be a time of significant vulnerability and can leave pupils feeling isolated. That’s why our Day 6 provision ensures every young person has access to 1:1 remote or onsite support and high-quality, tailored digital learning when they need it the most,
We act fast – completing a swift intake and assessment, and getting pupils learning without delay. Each student receives a personalised schedule, unique gamified study maps and access to therapeutic and wellbeing input.
We work closely with schools, local authorities, and families to keep pupils engaged, safe, and supported – whether working towards reintegration, in-person AP, or a longer-term alternative.
More Than a Legal Duty
While Day 6 Provision fulfill’s a statutory requirement, it also offers a valuable opportunity to re-engage learners, build trust, and help them move forward with confidence.
Together, we’re not just filling a gap – we’re creating a bridge to brighter futures.

why digital media skills matter for children with special needs
Encouraging Self-Expression and Creativity
For children who may struggle to express themselves verbally, digital media provides a new outlet. Tools like video production, digital art, and animation allow children to convey their ideas and emotions visually, often unlocking creativity that may otherwise go unnoticed. Platforms like Procreate or video editing programs such as Final Cut Pro provide endless opportunities for storytelling and innovation.
Developing Focus and Problem-Solving Skills
Children with ADHD or PDA often face challenges with concentration and impulse control. Engaging in digital media projects provides a structured, goal-oriented activity that channels their energy into productive outlets. Learning to edit videos or create digital animations encourages problem-solving and task management, skills that translate into other areas of their lives.
Building Confidence and Independence
Mastering digital tools empowers children to see themselves as creators. Whether it’s completing an animated short film, designing a digital landscape, or producing a podcast, these achievements build self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment. For children with autism, who may face social challenges, these independent successes can be deeply rewarding.
Enhancing Social and Emotional Skills
Collaboration is often a key part of digital media projects. At Tubers Academy, children work in groups to brainstorm, plan, and execute their ideas. This fosters communication, teamwork, and empathy—critical social skills that children with autism or PDA may find more difficult to develop in traditional settings.

Tailored Learning Approaches
We understand that every child learns differently, especially those with autism, ADHD, or PDA. Our programs are highly flexible, offering 1:1 support and personalized learning plans that adapt to each child’s strengths, interests, and challenges.
Structured and Gamified Programs
Our courses, such as the gamified “Emerald Islands” digital art program or the “VFX Galaxy” video production course, are designed to make learning fun and engaging. By using printed progress maps, interactive video tutorials, and clear milestones, we provide a structured yet flexible environment where children feel motivated and secure.
Professional-Grade Tools and Facilities
All our centers are equipped with top-of-the-line Apple Macs, iPads, and video production tools. This ensures children are learning on industry-standard equipment, giving them a head start in digital media.
Emotional and Social Support
Our staff are trained to provide not only technical guidance but also emotional and social support. Creating a safe, welcoming environment is our top priority, ensuring every child feels valued and empowered to succeed
Real-World Applications
Learning digital media isn’t just a fun activity; it has real-world implications. Many of our students have gone on to use their skills in school projects, community initiatives, and even professional settings. For children with special needs, the ability to contribute and excel in a digital medium provides both validation and purpose.
Additionally, these skills often open doors to future career opportunities. The creative and tech industries are growing rapidly, and the early mastery of tools like Procreate, Final Cut Pro, or Unreal Engine equips children for roles in design, animation, game development, and more.
building the future together
At Tubers Academy, we see firsthand the transformative power of teaching digital media skills to children with autism, ADHD, and PDA. By providing tailored, supportive learning experiences, we help unlock potential, nurture creativity, and prepare young learners for a world full of digital opportunities.
