West Sussex Virtual School
The West Sussex Virtual School strives to champion the education of West Sussex children and young people who are, or have been cared for by the local authority or the state, who are known to social care (or have been in the past six years) or are living within Kinship Care arrangements.
Our website has been created to provide a window into the Virtual School for all children and young people, their parents, carers and special guardians, and the professionals who support them.
It is the space to access information about the work of the Virtual School, the advice and guidance we offer and share examples of good practice of the work being done to improve the educational outcomes of our children and young people.
