UNIVERSITY OF EXETER |
Little research has previously been undertaken into the principles that underpin effective practice for virtual schools. This is despite highly variable educational outcomes for children in care between local authorities, in ways that are not readily explained, suggesting a very strong role for local practice – effective or ineffective. The rationale for this project is to explore and isolate key elements that underpin the effectiveness of virtual schools, and in time, improve the educational outcomes for children in care. NB this grant was initially awarded to the Rees Centre at Oxford University but transferred to the University of Exeter in 2022, following a move by the academic lead |
