Wallsend Kinship Carers

Don’t miss out on extra help. Ask your school if they are able to help

Most children in England will be settling into the new school year. But did you know that if the child you are raising is:

• looked after in the care system – including children in kinship foster care, or
• previously looked after in the care system but are now cared for under a child arrangements order, special guardianship order or residence order

their school may be entitled to extra funding called pupil premium plus.

Pupil premium plus aims to improve educational outcomes of certain children.

It is provided to, and managed by, schools. The local Virtual School Head role decides how to best spend Pupil Premium Plus funding.
