Royal Greenwich Virtual School

The Virtual School works to improve the education of children in our care and care leavers. They ensure young people get a high quality education which is the foundation for improving their lives. 

The school promote their educational achievement as if they were in a single school. 

Their aim is to raise attainment for young people through monitoring and tracking individual children’s progress and effective coordination of their educational services at both a strategic and operational level.

The Virtual School does not exist as a building, and children do not attend every day. The child is the responsibility of the school the child is enrolled at. 

The Virtual School does organise and run some events and sessions for children and young people.
