Pupil premium plus (PP+) for looked-after children
Looked-after children are one of the groups of pupils that attract PP+ funding. This is additional funding provided to help improve the attainment of looked-after children and close the attainment gap between them and their peers. Local authorities receive a PP+ grant allocation based on the number of children looked after for at least one day and aged 4 to 15 at 31 August, as recorded in the latest looked-after children data return.
In St. Helens all children and young people receive £2000 (3 terms of £666.66) providing the PEP has been graded as good or outstanding following the St Helens Quality Assurance document.
