Pupil Premium Plus (PP+) Grant for Looked-After Children

The PP+ Grant for looked-after children is funding allocated to local authorities based on the number of looked-after children in their care.  It is intended to improve the attainment of those children, by helping deliver the outcomes identified in their Personal Education Plans.

It is for the local authority, at the discretion of the Virtual School Head, to decide how much of this funding to pass on to a child's school.  The Pupil premium 2026-27 : conditions of grant make it clear that all funding must be spent in accordance with the Department for Education's Menu of Approaches, a framework designed to help educational professionals use PP+ funding effectively.
