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 one-on-one, based on their medical needs. This allows for individual support in a calm and focused environment.
