Peterborough Virtual School is a team of teachers and dedicated education professionals who work to support and improve educational outcomes for all Peterborough children and young people who have or have had a social worker.
The statutory remit includes the promotion of educational outcomes for children and young people in care between the ages of 2 and 18. It includes the quality assurance Personal Education Plans (PEPs), which form a key part of the overall care planning. The support continues for our young people as they transition into adulthood. Peterborough Virtual School also promote Education, Employment and Training (EET) opportunities for Care Leavers between the ages of 18-25.
Additionally, Peterborough Virtual School provides information and advice for children previously in care. Including those who have been adopted from care and those under special guardianship and child arrangement orders.
The Peterborough Virtual School has a non-statutory strategic leadership role for children who have or have had a social worker (in the last 6 years) aged 0-18 for safeguarding or welfare reasons. The virtual school also offer information and advice for children living in kinship care arrangements.
