Season 4, Episode 11 - From Cyber Bullying to Homeschooling - A Student Journey to UKVS

Evie's just joined UK Virtual School in September as a Year 10 after enduring cyber bullying and she's enjoying it so much more than traditional schooling, here are a few reasons why:

➡ Classes are smaller so you get to know everyone, and it feels like a big friendship group.

➡ Speaking up in lessons is easier in a virtual school than in physical schooling.

➡ Virtual schooling at UKVS has allowed Evie to build her confidence, especially in speaking up during lessons—something she found difficult in traditional school due to fear of judgement from peers
