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 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.
