The Children’s Hospital School at GOSH and UCLH is a unique educational institution dedicated to providing high-quality education to children and young people who are patients at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and University College London Hospitals (UCLH). Established with the vision of ensuring that health challenges do not hinder a child’s right to education, the school plays a crucial role in supporting the academic and emotional well-being of its students.

Our team comprises highly qualified teachers who work closely with healthcare professionals to create tailored learning experiences that meet the individual needs of each student.

The curriculum is designed to be flexible and engaging, allowing students to continue their studies in a way that accommodates their health conditions. We offer a range of subjects and activities, ensuring that students can pursue their interests and maintain a sense of normalcy during their hospital stay.

In addition to academic support, we also focus on the emotional and psychological aspects of learning. Our staff are trained to provide pastoral care, helping students cope with the challenges they face while in hospital. We believe that education is not just about academic achievement; it is also about fostering resilience and confidence in our students.

Collaboration with families is a key component of our approach. We work closely with parents and guardians to ensure that they are involved in their child’s education and well-being. Regular communication and updates help to create a strong support network for our students.

At The Children’s Hospital School, we are committed to inclusivity and accessibility. We strive to remove barriers to learning and provide equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their circumstances. Our goal is to empower children to achieve their full potential, both academically and personally.

We also engage with the wider community through various outreach programs and partnerships, raising awareness about the importance of education in healthcare settings. Our mission is to inspire hope and positivity in our students, helping them to envision a bright future beyond their current challenges.

In summary, The Children’s Hospital School at GOSH and UCLH is more than just an educational institution; it is a beacon of hope for children facing health difficulties.
