What is the Tuition and Medical Needs Service?

The Tuition and Medical Needs Service provides education for children and young people who are unable to attend school because of physical or mental health needs.

Our team of primary and secondary school teachers, and a teaching assistant, can work on behalf of the school to provide tuition until the young person is able to return to school.

What does the Tuition and Medical Needs Service do?

Tuition is usually provided at home three times a week. Or in our classroom at the Wyredale Road Centre two to three days a week.

We work with children of primary and secondary school age.

How can I refer to the Tuition and Medical Needs Service?

If you think that your child would benefit from accessing the Tuition and Medical Needs Team, please talk to your child’s school so that they can submit a referral.

You would need to provide information about medical professionals working with your child, so that they can confirm the need for tuition. And advise on the likely duration of the absence from school.
