Upcoming Changes to CATE Home Medical Tuition

From September 2025 (academic year 2025/26), the Local Authority has taken the decision to bring this provision back under their direct management. As a result, WPES will no longer be responsible for delivering home tuition or any part of the Section 19 service. This is a decision made solely by the Local Authority as part of a wider strategic review of alternative provision across the borough.

We are incredibly proud of the work our team has done to support children and families through this service, and we believe we were making a real difference. However, this transition means that from September onwards, the Local Authority will take full responsibility for the education of children who require this support due to ill health, and WPES will no longer be involved.

 All new referrals for Medical ill Health Tuition should be sent to:   AP@hounslow.gov.uk

Referral Requirements: Please include the following with your referral:

  *   A completed referral form

  *   Relevant medical or supporting documents

  *   Any additional information to help understand the student’s needs

This ensures that referrals are processed efficiently and provide timely support.

If you have any questions or need help with the referral process, please contact:
