We may have to review the support your child receives if any of the following occur on three successive occasions or on more than four occasions in any four week period:
- There is no one at home when the teacher calls
- The teaching session is cancelled for no valid reason
- The child refuses to co-operate
- The environment is unsuitable for effective teaching and learning.
The service may be withdrawn if there are concerns that the ill health does not appear to be genuine OR supporting medical evidence cannot be provided.
The service is for:
- Pupils resident in Bolton and normally on the roll of a school
- Pupils who are expected to be in hospital for five school days or more, OR to be at home through illness for more than three weeks
The aims of the service are:
- To provide a continuing education for pupils who are out of school for medical reasons
- To offer four 1 ½ hour sessions per week for each pupil at KS 1 & 2 and five 1½ hour sessions per week for all pupils at KS3 & 4
- To promote their effective return to school
We can only offer education in the short term. We do not provide long term alternative education. Our aim is to return pupils to their mainstream school as soon as possible
