Celebrating a decade of dedication for East Riding Virtual School Head
 We are proud to celebrate a remarkable milestone, as Nicola Donoghue marks 10 years as Head of the Virtual School.
Nicola champions the educational success of some of East Riding’s most vulnerable children. The East Riding Virtual School does not exist as a physical school, but the service monitors the educational progress of children in care, advocates for those previously in care, and supports transitions between educational settings, removing any barriers to education. The Virtual School also promotes the education of children with a social worker, or who have had a social worker in the last six years.
