* In exceptional circumstances such as Invicta National Academy running a controlled programme of intervention sessions and/or catch-up / booster or homework clinics or sessions with a school, student microphones may be unmuted on an individual basis to enable the pupil to better ask a question or explain any difficulties they may be having with the lesson. The lesson facilitator will have total control over the length of time that individual pupils microphones remain un-muted.
