The Rosewood School

For pupils not well enough to attend school, it is important that the local authority and schools have clear support available to successfully maintain a continuation of education.

The Rosewood School (TRS) is run by the Kent Local Authority for children who are unable to attend school due to medical, physical or mental health needs.

Primary and Secondary Support

Placements are determined based on individual need and may include:

Primary-aged pupils:

Remote learning - for pupils who are immunocompromised or unable to attend school
Outreach support - to their homeschool to support reintegration and learning.

Secondary-aged pupils:

TRS school placement - at Leybourne or Canterbury, with the aim of reintegration into mainstream education
Remote learning - for pupils who are immunocompromised or unable to attend school
Outreach support - to a TRS school or their homeschool.

All placements are typically offered on a 6 to 12 week basis, unless stated otherwise in your decision letter.
