PEP Quality Assurance:
As part of their role in the St Helens Virtual School, the PEP coordinators need to ensure the following criteria in the quality assurance document is met/evidenced within the PEP or amended within the timescales set out for the PEP completed dates.
Please contact your PEP lead if you are unsure of the dates
The St Helens Virtual School Quality Assurance framework:
The framework adopted by St Helens Virtual School is attached to the image below. Each page has been broken down into gold, green, amber and red categories so schools and settings are fully aware how overall PEP's will be judged. These comments form the feedback from the PEP coordinators recorded on Page 9 of the PEP.
The Virtual School review and quality assure each PEP within the various key stages. The Virtual School PEP Support Team are:

The Overall PEP judgement follows the following criteria, in the PEP completion guidance, each of these criteria is broken down for each page/section:
Overall PEP Judgement | If any sections are red or amber DTs and SWs will be contacted and will amend these sections before the PEP is finalised. | |||
7/8 areas to be gold & the remaining 1 to be green | 7/8 areas to be green & the remaining 1 to be amber | 2 or more areas are amber | Any area is red | |
Gold | Green | Amber | Red | |
High quality | Good quality | Incomplete PEP | Poor quality | |
Why have a Quality Assurance Framework?
- Taking into account the feedback from Ofsted, the quality and consistency of PEPs needs to be improved.
- As the PEP is a shared, multi-agency document, a QA framework ensures there are clear and consistent expectations for all practitioners.
- Ensure consistency and high quality.
- An amber grading doesn't mean that you will not receive funding - case by case basis.
- Gold Standard - identifying and celebrating outstanding practice.
- The Quality Assurance framework has been circulated via email and Teams.
- There is a PEP QA Moderation Group that moderates the Virtual School by sampling some of the PEPs each term.
