About

iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).

The Children's Hospital School provides education for students who are too ill to attend their mainstream school. Our students join us following a referral supported by medical evidence. Our role is to nurture, support, educate and enable students to reintegrate as, when and if appropriate. We teach in five school bases and in children's homes.

We aim to provide outstanding education and care in partnership with other agencies.
