What we do 

Supporting the education of vulnerable children and young people

Hartlepool Virtual School supports the education of:

  • children in our care, also known as looked-after children
  • children with a social worker
  • children in kinship care arrangements

Children known to social care services also achieve significantly poorer educational outcomes than others at all stages of education, even after social care involvement ends. The educational outcomes of children in kinship care fall behind their peers who have no social care involvement.

We work closely with schools, families and professionals to remove barriers to learning and support the academic, social and personal development of vulnerable children and young people.
