Hospital and Home Tuition (HHTS)
At our Hospital and Home Tuition Service we care for the most vulnerable young people who, at a difficult time in their lives, need support. The young people are referred by their school with support from the medical professionals. Our main purpose, while they are with us, is to ensure, where possible, that the young person is able to continue with their education and return to their home school as soon as they are able to.
The students are taught either 1:1 or in small groups to enable them to receive the individual support they need to overcome any identified medical, emotional or social issues in a calm supportive environment. Each young person is at the heart of the process and through a coordinated approach, involving a range of professionals, we deliver a personalised approach to their learning. For any further information or help, please call 01228227452.

How to make a referral
Referrals can be made at any time of the academic year
1. Read the Hospital and Home Tuition Service Checklist and ensure that you have all the evidence specified. Without this, we will not be able to process your referral promptly.
2. The HHTS Practitioner form will not be considered as medical evidence if completed by a member of school staff or parent.
3. Referrals should be emailed to James Nichols; [email protected]
Referrals should be sent in electronic format and should be divided into the following sections.
- Supporting Medical Evidence
- Medical Tuition Support Service form (replaces the HHTS1 form)
- Attendance Data
- Evidence of School Support
- Any other relevant information
- Latest school report from previous academic year
All referrals must be made with the full knowledge of parents/carers.
Our HHTS policy is currently under review with the local authority
