What is a Personal Education Plan (PEP)
A PEP is an evolving record of what needs to happen for children looked after to enable them to make at least expected progress and fulfil their potential. The PEP should reflect the importance of a personalised approach to learning that meets the child’s identified educational needs, raises aspirations and builds life chances.
