Making World-Class Teaching Accessible to Every Learner.

Every missed lesson represents a lost opportunity. In the face of unprecedented teacher shortages and budgetary pressure, schools are struggling to maintain consistent, high-quality instruction. At 21C, we believe there’s a better way. We exist to ensure that every student has access to outstanding teaching, every single day, empowering schools to overcome the cover crisis and unlock pupil potential.

Addressing the Crises Facing UK Schools and Learners.

The Cover Crisis
Consistency Under Pressure

Teacher absence is a reality, but the high cost and variable quality of supply cover shouldn't compromise learning. Finding specialist maths teachers on short notice is increasingly difficult, leading to missed lessons, disrupted learning journeys, and immense pressure on school leaders. We saw a critical need for reliable, high-quality, and cost-effective cover that ensures continuity.

The Confidence Crisis
Unlocking Maths Potential​

Beyond the classroom walls, too many students lack confidence in mathematics. GCSE resits remain stubbornly high, and access to effective, affordable support is inconsistent. This impacts not just individual attainment but future opportunities. We believe every learner deserves the tools and support to build fluency, revise effectively, and approach maths with confidence.
