Primary school
All children in care have to have a PEP (personal education plan) that is reviewed 3 times a year. We have a strong ethos that early intervention is the key for future success. The Prepare for Success Virtual School try to attend as many PEPs as possible, particularly those new to care and those who are in the transition phase but we cannot attend all PEPs. It is essential that the designated teacher and social worker attend the PEP.

Our Guide to the PEP process:
A Personal Education Plan (PEP) is a document held by schools and colleges which relates to a particular child and sets out their educational targets for attainment and achievement, and recommends how this will be done.

Statutory guidance for designated teachers

Below are the links to two key pieces of statutory guidance that clearly outline the roles and responsibilities for every designated teacher. It is essential that every designated teacher has read these in order to fulfil the requirements of their role whether in school or an early years setting. It covers the responsibilities for both looked after children and post looked after children.
