Like you, your child may be finding the current situation unsettling. Children in care may be missing key adults and friends at school and they might also be struggling without their normal daily routines. On top of all this, they may be feeling anxious about corona virus and the restrictions on our daily lives.

The government has asked parents to keep children at home, wherever possible, and for schools to remain open only for those children who absolutely need to attend.

In conversations with the National Association of Virtual School Heads, the DfE have clarified that there is no expectation that all looked after children will attend school during the partial closure of schools.

Two high profile inspirational keynote speakers will be addressing the Leicestershire Virtual School conference on Thursday 27th February 2020 at the King Power Stadium, Leicester.

On the 7th December the Virtual School held a glass workshop event for young people who have a keen interest in art and the art industry.

The Virtual School are excited to announce that we have now received our young people’s Expressive Arts ASDAN certificates and Arts Award.
