VSK offer a range of online educational programmes which aim to help children in care complete independent learning, which supports them to learn more and fill in any gaps in their knowledge.
These include:
- Literacy programmes such as Lexia
- Numeracy focused programmes such as Mathletics, Maths Whizz and Times Tables Rockstars which provides comprehensive revision modules in all subjects.
- English as an additional language.
- my-Ed offers engaging activities and courses tailored to individual needs based on nationally recognised curriculum frameworks and objectives, covering both academic and wellbeing topics.
All of these programmes can be used to increase learning and in some cases provide reports on progress which is useful in PEP meetings. Use of the programmes can be built into targets in PEPs and regular use can be encouraged by Foster Carers, Social Workers and VSK Support Officers.
For information and accounts for any of these featured programmes for your children in care please contact Debbie Briant, VSK Education Support Officer at: debbie.briant@kent.gov.uk
