Terms

These terms govern your use of Global Online Academy of Leadership — the website at goal.education, the learning platform, and the teaching we provide to your children.

They apply from the moment you create an account. If you do not accept them, do not create one.

One account holds the whole family: every child, every invoice and every consent. The adult who creates it is the account holder and is responsible for it.

• You must be 18 or over and have parental responsibility for the children you add.
• The information you give us about your children must be accurate — the year band it produces decides what they are taught.
• Keep your password to yourself. Tell us immediately if you think someone else has it.
• From Year 3 a child may hold their own sign-in under your account. You remain responsible for it, and you can see everything they can.

The free demo runs for 14 days from the day you confirm your email. It is free, no payment details are requested at any point, and nothing renews when it ends.

It gives access to the GOAL plan for your child’s grade — the day, the week’s Parent Direction sheet, the theme and the full lesson plan. It does not include a live class, recordings, teacher messaging or clubs, which begin after registration and orientation.

We may end a demo early if it is being used to copy or redistribute our materials, or where the same household opens repeated demos.

A demo is not an offer of a place. Places follow the joining route: a parent meeting, registration with the Commitment Agreement, and orientation. An offer names the grade, the timetable, the start date and the fee in writing.

We may decline an application, and we will say why. Most often it is that we do not believe we can teach a particular child well, which we would rather say before you pay us than after.

• Fees are stated in your offer before anything is payable. All costs are shared clearly upfront. No hidden costs.
• Founding family, sibling and payment options are to be confirmed, and will be stated in your offer.
• We will give at least one term’s written notice of any change to fees for an existing family.
• If a payment fails we will tell you and try again before anything is suspended.

You may pause from your account. Your child’s place in their live block is held for the length of the pause, up to one term, and you are not billed while paused.

You may leave at any time, from your account, with no notice period and no exit fee. Access continues to the end of the month you have paid for, and you can download your child’s portfolio and reports before and after it.

• Live teaching in small groups, in the block agreed at admission, following the published academic calendar.
• A recording of every live session.
• Work set, marked and returned with written feedback.
• The LEADERSHIP programme, its observations and its records.
• Termly reports and a student-led conference.
• Access to the platform for the duration of enrolment.

Occasionally a session must be moved or a teacher changed. Where we cancel a live session and cannot reschedule it within the same week, we will credit it.

GOAL is a partnership, and the facilitator part of it matters. We ask that you open the week with your child, are present for live sessions where their age requires it, support the one short weekly home activity, and tell us early when something is not working.

You are not expected to teach, plan or mark. If a week feels like you are, tell us — that is a fault in our plan.

Live sessions are classrooms. Children and adults are expected to treat each other with respect, and we will act on conduct that makes a session unsafe or unusable for others.

Safeguarding overrides everything else in these terms. Where we have a concern for a child’s welfare we will act on it and, where the law requires, report it — including when that means sharing information without consent.

No member of staff will exchange a private message with a child. Every message involving a child is visible to their parent, enforced by the system.

Curriculum materials, lesson content, resources and recordings remain ours. Your family may use them for the education of the children on your account, for as long as they are enrolled. They may not be copied, shared, sold or published.

Work your child produces belongs to your child. We show it to their group or use it in GOAL materials only where you have given that specific consent, and you can withdraw it.

Recordings of live sessions are made so that a missed class can be caught up. Whether your child appears in one is a consent you control, described in the privacy notice.

We provide teaching with reasonable skill and care, and we do not guarantee any particular academic outcome — no school honestly can.

Nothing in these terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot be limited by law. Subject to that, our liability to you in any twelve-month period is limited to the fees you paid us in that period.

We are not liable for interruptions caused by your own internet connection or equipment.

You may end it at any time from your account. We may end it by giving one term’s notice, or immediately where fees remain unpaid after we have contacted you, where these terms are seriously breached, or where a safeguarding matter requires it.

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have jurisdiction.
