About the Virtual School
We want to close the education gap between children with a social worker and their classmates. These children may be in care or receiving extra support from social services.
Many children in care face challenges that make school harder. They often leave school with fewer qualifications, and fewer go on to college or university. We aim to give them the support they need to succeed and build happy, fulfilling lives.
The Virtual School works with schools, colleges, and nurseries to make sure Cared for Children get the right support in education. We help set high but achievable goals, improve their school results and attendance, and work to reduce suspensions and exclusions where needed.
