Gloucestershire Hospital Education Services
The vision for Gloucestershire Hospital Education Service is to provide an inclusive, nurturing and high-quality education that is flexible and responsive to each student’s needs, empowering all to thrive both academically and emotionally.
Through bespoke personalised programmes of learning and support GHES enable students to do their best, be prepared for the future, and face the challenges they meet with confidence.
Our School
GHES is a registered Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) commissioned by Gloucestershire County Council. The aim of the service is to address inclusion and reintegration issues specific to young people with medical needs; making it possible for a child to have a seamless educational transition between hospital, home and school.
GHES works in partnership with students' registered schools to provide a flexible and balanced curriculum, which meets the need of each child while they are out of school as well as assisting in a smooth transition back to school.
Our Mission
We are dedicated to transforming the learning experience for young people with mental and physical health needs whilst they are unable to attend their main school.
We provide education and support, tailored to each student's unique challenges.
We champion resilience, academic success, and overall well-being, ensuring that all students can thrive both academically and personally.
