Hospital and home tuition service (HHTS)

The HHTS supports 7 to 16 year olds who cannot attend school due to a medical condition. 

They must meet these criteria: 

• absence from mainstream school for 15 days or more due to a medical condition
• frequent and long absences from mainstream school because of a medical condition 

A school, with a medical professional's support, can refer a young person to this service. 

HHTS helps students continue their education and return to school when possible. Students start with a 6 week placement. After that, a review will assess their ongoing needs. 

Students receive teaching in small groups or 1 on 1, based on their medical needs. This allows for individual support in a calm and focused environment.
