<p>The government recognises that children adopted from care can remain vulnerable
and have high levels of need. Pupil Premium funding is only available to children
attending state-funded schools or where a local authority is providing significant
support for a child’s education. Where parents have decided to educate their children
at home, they are only eligible for Pupil Premium if the local authority is providing
such support. Similarly, pupil premium is available for pupils attending an independent
school only where the local authority is paying all or part of the tuition fees. There
are no plans to change this.</p><p>We have already extended support from Virtual School
Heads and designated teachers to children adopted from outside England and Wales and
are carefully considering other educational entitlements, including Pupil Premium
Plus.</p><p> </p>
