Sutton Virtual School acts as a local authority champion to promote the progress and educational attainment of Children Looked After (CLA), Previously Looked After (PCLA), children on kinship orders and children with a social worker so they achieve educational outcomes comparable to their peers.
Sutton Virtual School does not exist in real terms, or as a building. Children do not attend it – they remain the responsibility of the school at which they are enrolled. Sutton Virtual School is an organisation which has been created for the effective co-ordination of educational services at a strategic and operational level.
