Virtual school training
Why we offer training:
Buckinghamshire Virtual School offers training for schools alongside our partners in the local authority. We aim to provide schools with an understanding of some of the main challenges faced by vulnerable children and their families, while suggesting some practical strategies to support this cohort. The Virtual School recognises that schools are a safe a haven for our vulnerable pupils. We aim to provide training, advice and guidance which will benefit all pupils on role, while creating more inclusive environments for our vulnerable children.
This training schedule has been informed by schools via their responses to a published survey and via discussions with local alternative providers.
The 2025-26 training schedule will be available soon.
