  • Our School

    Southampton Hospital School is an alternative provision academy providing hospital education to pupils in Southampton General Hospital & Outreach to pupils within the city of Southampton.

    The service is focused on supporting pupils with medical needs and enabling pupils to reintegrate back into their home school.

  • Hospital Admissions

    Any stay in hospital can be disorientating and difficult, but it doesn’t have to have a negative impact on your education. In fact, many pupils find the small class sizes and opportunities for 1:1 teaching at Southampton Hospital School helps them to make rapid progress in areas that they have previously found difficult.

    Whether your stay in hospital is planned or unexpected, you will find friendly teachers and relaxed classrooms ready to help you.


  • Outreach Tuition

    Southampton Hospital School also runs an outreach service to support pupils currently unable to attend school for medical reasons.

    Admissions are managed by the Local Authority Inclusions team, and there is no cost to home schools for the provision. Home tuition aims to reintegrate pupils back into their home schools.

  • Bursledon House

    Southampton Hospital School also provides full time education for pupils staying at Bursledon House. The unit is served by two classrooms, a primary and a secondary.

    Pupils love our small classes and friendly atmosphere. Every pupil can also expect to make rapid progress with close support from teachers & teaching assistants.

  • Our Curriculum

    At SHS we pride ourselves on providing a curriculum offer that is bespoke to each individual learner and your child will follow a fully tailored individual curriculum that considers their needs and the reason for their admission to hospital. During their time at our school, however short, your child will receive a unique and powerful learning experience that will benefit them even after they leave our school.
