Surrey Virtual Schools Webinar Spring 25

Join Michelle Cain, Deputy Headteacher at Surrey Virtual Schools for a 1-hour webinar.

Nationally, educational outcomes of Children Looked After (CLA) continue to be lower than those of non-looked after children. It is a duty of the governing boards to delegate the responsibility of monitoring and challenging the support around CLA to a named governor. This duty is to ensure the school is supporting and promoting the educational achievement for this vulnerable group of learners.

This webinar will provide governors with an overview of the remit placed on the Local Authority’s Virtual School and include how it can support the school and it’s CLA. Relevant information on statutory guidelines and procedures will be summarised. The Department for Education has extended the Virtual School remit to promote the education of children with a social worker and those in kinship care arrangements, this webinar will provide an update on these duties.

This webinar will cover:

• The role of the Virtual School
• A reflection on why the children and young people, for who the Virtual School have oversight, often underachieve.
• A summary of the Statutory Duties relating to roles and responsibilities for looked after and previously looked after children.
• Key questions to consider as a governing body
