What to do if a school wants to put your child on a reduced timetable

Reduced timetables should only be considered in exceptional circumstances and they can only go ahead with the full agreement of the parent/guardian holding parental responsibility. In Central Bedfordshire, reduced timetables should be time-limited and consider how the child will be supported to return to full-time education.

Schools are obliged to inform Central Bedfordshire’s Access and Inclusion Team about any child on a reduced timetable.

You can also get advice from us at any point – just complete the 'Request for Virtual School Advice' form.
