This research project aimed to study and inform the effective use of Pupil Premium Plus (PP+)-funded interventions to support educational outcomes for looked after children, by:
- Evidencing the range of guidance and support that exists currently to equip stakeholder professionals, including Virtual School Heads and Designated Teachers, to use PP+ effectively;
- Generating evidence and insights into how PP+ is used and allocated, and how the impact of PP+-funded interventions is evidenced; and
- Illuminating any gaps in support and guidance that need addressing to optimise the impact of PP+-funded interventions on educational outcomes for looked after children.
