All children and young people who attend Manchester Hospital School are referred as a result of medical issues that prevent them from attending their own school. We provide education for children and young people aged 5-18 at the Christie, RMCH, Wythenshawe Hospital, North Manchester General Hospital, for young people aged at Galaxy House, for young people aged 11-18 at the Leo Kelly School, and through HIVE for young people who are too unwell to attend a school setting. All our provisions follow the same principle which is to reduce the detrimental effect of illness, whether physical or mental, on the education of children and young people. All hospital inpatients are entitled to access their education during their stay.
