Supporting pupils with health needs

All children and young people are entitled to a high quality education, but sometimes they cannot attend school because of health needs.

Medical tuition can be used as a short term plan to support a child or young person to re-join an educational setting.

However, it is not intended to replicate a full time educational provision.
