Pupil Premium Plus - In year admission

[oinker]

My son gets PPP. He has done for two years now. We are relocating and will be moving schools in March 2016.

Will his PPP be passed from one school to the next mid term? The schools are in different Local authorities.

I don't want to ask the school. They don't know our plans and I would have concerns that once they know we are leaving the PPP will be shared amongst others at the school whereas now it's all spent on him.

Any info regarding this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Oinker,

I can only tell you what our school and SW told us. The PPP always moves with the child but that the new school has to contact the old one to facilitate the handover. Our SW said this is regardless of state/independent sector. Hope that helps, good luck with the move.

I believe it may take a term to 'handover' but would have to check.

Schools budget on a yearly basis not termly so if it's going on say staff training it may be spent. Do you know what they use it for?

Thanks for the help.

DS money is spent on x 2 one to one 1/2 hour lessons with his teacher before school. He was also having a 1/2 hour weekly music lesson.

He has no need for intervention etc it's being used like this on my request.

If the money can be transferred with my son then that is great.

I will need to find this in writing to show the school. DS is the first adopted child at the school and I have been fortunate enough to guide the school through PPP uses. They had not come across it before. It's a new school.

Any ideas where I can find the official write up on the transference of funds?

Thank

That should be fairly easy to transfer on a pro rata basis then. But you might find that's actually costing more than the ppp money and therefore they'll say it's used up. It's pretty generous. Teachers aren't massively cheap...

No idea re paperwork - tethersend might be along - she knows everything about ppp.

I am really happy with the way the PPP is spent. I've never seen a breakdown of cost so couldn't comment on what amount is used for what.

PPP is allocated annual too school budget is not transferable, some maybe
already allocated too whole school project's or extra TA's, OT's, and support services., not too say school are not able too transfer some balances as the PPP is not usual paid up front in one sum but termly or in 3 or more instalments.
