What is Barnet Virtual School?
Barnet Virtual School is a team of people who support the education of all young people who are looked after by the borough of Barnet and all those who have been previously looked after up to the age of 25. We also have strategic duties for all children with a social worker and those in kinship care. We are here to make sure all our young people are getting the best educational opportunities.
We act as local authority champions to promote the progress and educational attainment of children and young people who are or who have been looked after (also known as in care) or have a social worker or are in kinship care, so that they achieve the best educational outcomes possible. It is a 'virtual school' because it does not exist in a real building but there is a head teacher and a team of staff. Ensuring that these young people receive a high-quality education is the foundation for improving their lives.
