Description

Cheshire East Council has a statutory duty to provide all children and young people who live with the borough and all children looked after by Cheshire East with education provision. For most children and young people this is achieved through full time attendance at school, but for a small number of children who are not well enough to attend school full time or who are moving between schools, an alternative is needed. On-line learning procured through this specification will form part of the suite of alternative provision to be offered to children and young people in these situations by Cheshire East Council. Children and young people can watch and participate in 'live' lessons which focus on core subjects from functional skills through to A levels, vocational training, and engagement. The option to develop social skills through monitored contact via the provider website is also required. Adult supervision, e.g. parent/carer may be required to ensure proper use of the internet at this time but no specialist knowledge can be expected of this person so all teaching must be via the online provider.
