About Gloucestershire Hospital Education Service

The purpose of Gloucestershire’s Hospital Education Service (GHES) is to meet the LA’s statutory duty to provide equal access to appropriate education for young people medically too unwell to attend school (due to either physical or mental health needs). As a service, and registered Medical PRU (Pupil Referral Unit) GHES addresses 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. Children at GHES are supported to continue to achieve, thrive and reach their potential despite their medical needs.

GHES Overview
There are three branches of the service:
1) Education provision for paediatric inpatients at Gloucester Royal Hospital
2) Education provision for paediatric outpatients – GHES outpatients team
3) Education support and provision for pregnant schoolgirls/school-aged mothers
