Continuing education

As well as having fun and keeping occupied, we encourage your child to continue their education during their stay in hospital. Our dedicated four-classroom teaching unit, resident teachers and learning support assistants offer this facility.

Schooling at Barts and The London Children’s Hospital not only offers the basics of literacy and numeracy, but also a condensed version of the national curriculum and service for special education needs. If your child is in hospital for long periods of time, our teachers can liaise with the school to help them keep up with their school work.
