Effective use of Pupil Premium Plus to improve educational outcomes for looked after children

Dr Stuart Read, Dr Mel Macer and Dr Anne Parfitt - School of Education, Bath Spa University

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.
