The Virtual School is here to improve education outcomes of Children in our Care (CIOC) and Care Experienced Young People. The Virtual School will promote their educational achievement as if they were in a single school. We are champions, advocates and educators.

The school does not exist as a building, although we organise and run some events and sessions for children and young people. The children and young people remain the responsibility of the school at which they are enrolled.

The Virtual School is here to raise attainment for young people through monitoring and tracking children's progress. We coordinate educational services to help us to do this.
