Your education
Your education is a really important part of your life, and helps to shape your future.
​
You may already know lots about your own school, so we think it would be helpful to tell you about the virtual school and about the support available to look at your options for after school. The buttons above can tell you more information about learning and work advisers, support if you are thinking about attending university and support to access apprenticeships.
The virtual school
The Virtual School isn’t like your average school, it isn’t made of bricks and doesn’t have classrooms… it’s more of an office that makes sure young people in care get a good education and any support they may need. The people who work for the Virtual School work with all schools where children from York attend, but have an office to bring everything together. This means that if you live out of York, the Virtual School still makes sure you get a good education and the right support with your education.
There are lots of things that the Virtual School are in charge of such as checking your Personal Education Plan and how Pupil Premium Plus for children in care is spent and getting you additional support.
