Supporting the Education of Interrupted Learners

HOTS supports the education of children and young people who experience interrupted learning for the following reasons; in hospital with mental or physical health difficulties, at home with a medical condition, looked after and accomodated, excluded from school, pupils with behavioural difficulties, pregnant school girls and young mums, Gypsy/Travellers and young people involved in the criminal justice system

We work closely with fellow professionals from many disciplines such as health, social work and the voluntary sector to create a well qualified and capable team able to complement each other and to minimise the detrimental effects of interrupted learning. In maintaining our networks we aim to develop a problem solving approach to overcome any barriers to learning.

We are always looking to develop and enhance our pupils’ experience of teaching and learning and are developing strategies involving increased use of ICT
