PP+ funding

Previously Looked After Children, in care are also eligible to receive PP+ funding, however 'Post-LAC' PP+ funding is not received or managed by the virtual school.

The funding goes into the educational setting and will be used for the cohort of students.

It is up to the educational setting as to how the funding is used.

As a parent or guardian, it is your duty to let the educational setting, know of your child's status.

To receive this funding, it is the responsibility of the school the child attends to formally record their previously looked-after status in their annual January school census, with funding then allocated in the summer.

If a child's Post-LAC status is not recorded at this point, schools may face a delay of over one year before this funding can be allocated.

Although the virtual school does not receive Post-LAC PP+ funding, we can provide advice on how the PP+ can be used effectively.
