Pupil Premium Plus at an Independent School -

[oinker]

Not sure if this is the right place for this.

What does the below statement mean to you ?

Any ideas what this means?

• an independent school will get the Pupil Premium Plus funding but only where the provision of place is funded by the local authority.

What does provision of place mean in this context?

Please don't judge my ignorance... I truly don't understand what it means.

I would take it to mean where the local authority is paying the fees, eg for a Looked After Child or a child with SN/SEN and a statement that names that particular school.

Yep; it is where the LEA pays for the child to go to that school. Not something that is particularly common, unless the child has very specific needs that absolutely cannot be met in the local state system.

Gotcha.

I understand now.

Thank you
