The Virtual School
The Virtual School is an additional resource which exists to support and challenge all those involved in the education of children we care for. It is involved in, or promotes nationally and locally, various initiatives to support the educational achievement of children in care.
The Virtual School Team is a small multi-disciplinary team working to raise the educational attainment, aspirations and attendance of children and young people. It works in close collaboration with colleagues across the authority, and also in partnership with the third sector. Educational Advisors track the academic progress of our young people, whilst supporting and monitoring those that work with children and young people in care, such as schools, colleges and wider educational provisions, Social Workers and Foster Carers.
The Virtual School works to help young people realise and achieve their full potential within education and beyond. They also offer a range of educational events, training opportunities and even academic apps, to help you continue learning, outside of the classroom!
