Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about bringing Uni-Beacon to your school? Find quick answers regarding participation, setup, and pilot costs below.
Which year groups can participate?
Our programmes are designed for learners aged 10–17 and can be adapted to suit different year groups, abilities and school curricula. We work with schools to tailor the content, pace and level of challenge to meet the needs of their students.
What equipment is required?
Can delivery be online or in school?
Yes, we offer both! Programmes are tailored to your preferences and can be facilitated either as interactive online webinars by our virtual coaches, or in-person right inside your physical school classrooms.
Does a teacher remain present?
Yes. We ask that a teacher or designated school staff member remains present during school sessions. This allows Uni-Beacon’s facilitator to focus on delivering the learning while school staff continue to support student supervision, behaviour, safeguarding and individual learner needs.
How is pupil data protected?
What does the pilot cost?
Our pilot programmes are offered at a reduced introductory rate, with additional subsidies available for eligible state schools. Private and independent schools are also welcome to participate. Pricing depends on cohort size and delivery requirements, so please contact us for a tailored proposal.
Are Uni-Beacon instructors DBS checked?
Yes. Uni-Beacon instructors who work with children have completed the appropriate DBS checks. We also follow clear safeguarding procedures and work in partnership with schools to support a safe learning environment.
