BE Hub Arrington

A fun learning hub offering three days a week of Da Vinci Life-Skills (DVLS) transdisciplinary projects, as a flexible addition to self-directed home learning. We provide a relaxed, biophilic learning environment of up to 8 students aged 11 - 16 years old, specialising in entrepreneurship, design, the arts and vocational learning.

We are excited to be announcing the program for our third year at BE Hub Arrington after our wonderful first two years which involved: making an alien animation film; designing products, games, companies, clothes and robotic arms; adventuring in Ancient Greece, building land art, going on trips to exhibitions and biophilic houses and redesigned our learning space! So we are looking forward to an enticing array of new DVLS projects for the next academic year. Come join the adventure!

The site has parking and is set back off the main road for safe drop of and pick ups.

Three day a week flexible learning from Sept. 2026

The DVLS Curriculum and Assessment framework are inline with the current national (and international) developments in PBL (project-based learning) and portfolio-based skills assessment. DVQs (Da Vinci Qualifications) have been accepted as a trusted qualification by a few universities so far and this is something that we are working on expanding.

Students can also submit their DVQs to exam boards for external, age related project qualifications like HPQs and EPQs. We don't offer GCSEs at the BE Hub, however we encourage students to take at least maths and English GCSEs in the days that they are not with us. We have formed a partnership with NEC to support this.

Fees for Semesters 1 & 2 2025/6

Students can sign up for one to three DVLS pathways (days of the week).
Fees must be paid upfront at the beginning of the semester.

Additional costs: CGP maths and English work books; 1-2 group novels for each pathway (day of the week); extra resources for PEPs and the Food pathway costs £5 extra per day for days when we are buying food or plants.

We have a 20% discount on all NEC online exam courses, parents will need to pay NEC directly for online support and the exam centres directly to sit exams.

Come for a trial day

As we work with the home ed community there is a regular movement of students. We are currently close to capacity, however we alway welcome new students, even if it means that they join our waiting list.

Please contact us if you would like to come and visit the BE Hub or come for a trial day which are available in the first couple of weeks of each semester, from 10am - 4pm, costing £50 per student. We will then send you our admissions form.
