Hospital schools are specialised educational institutions that provide educational services to students who are hospitalised for an extended period due to illness or injury. 

Hospital schools play a crucial role in helping students stay engaged in their education and maintain a sense of normalcy during challenging times. They ensure that students don't fall too far behind academically due to extended hospital stays which helps them reintegrate into their regular school settings when they are well enough to do so. 

These schools are often staffed by experienced educators who understand the unique needs of their hospitalised students and work to provide them with quality education and support. They work with students in small multi-level groups and one-to-one at the bedside.
