The DfE has announced a Pupil Premium Plus (PP+) post-16 pilot to support looked-after children and care leavers in education. It is recruiting local authorities (LAs) to take part in the pilot, which will run from October 2021 until March 2022. A total of £3 million will be allocated between LAs who are selected to take part. The project aims to test the extension of financial support to looked-after children and care leavers in general further education colleges across a spread of LAs.
