Havering Virtual School is responsible for raising the educational outcomes for children and young people looked-after by us.
We are here to:
- monitor the attainment, progression and attendance of children and young people who are looked-after and put in place support where it’s needed to help each individual achieve their potential
- celebrate educational success through an annual awards event
- work with the young people, schools, colleges, social workers and foster carers to improve behaviour and attendance, promote improved outcomes and school stability, and identify and address any barriers to learning
- support young people through school and into further or higher education, employment or training
- offer training on raising educational achievement and key aspects of legislative responsibilities, to professionals in schools, social care and fostering
- promote the educational achievement of children and young people who were previously looked-after through the provision of advice and information
