GOSH Star of the Week
Alfie (Secondary) for always working hard and contributing in lessons.
I am delighted to be the Headteacher of this outstanding school for pupils with medical needs. The Children’s Hospital School at Great Ormond Street and UCLH opened its doors just over 70 years ago in 1951 with just two teachers and now has a team of just over 40 staff ensuring educational achievement, continuity and enjoyment for patients facing long stay admissions in hospital.
The School plays an essential academic role for patients in the hospital who can miss significant amounts of time out of school as well as an important holistic role providing families an important element of ‘ordinary life’ in what can at times be an overwhelming experience of a clinical environment.
The School is at the forefront of bringing the outside world inside straight to the bedside; from minibeasts in mobile ponds to 3D printed replica objects from Museums; our teachers always go the extra mile to engage their pupils in learning across the curriculum. Using virtual environments during the pandemic was not new to our school and has always been a method for connecting children within the hospital and back home, enabling them to share their learning with peers.
School plays, virtual choirs, weekly awards and even exams make this school as familiar as possible for children meaning however extraordinary their experiences the ordinary is just as important as part of their recovery process.
Whether you are a parent, a pupil, a potential job applicant, or an interested visitor, I hope you enjoy finding out more about the Children’s Hospital School at GOSH & UCLH from our website.
We look forward to welcoming you to our learning community in the future.
