Adults caring for our Children in Care (including family members, foster carers, adoptive parents, care home staff) have an essential part to play in supporting their education. All Children in Care must have a current, high-quality Personal Education Plan (PEP) and those caring for them have an integral role in ensuring that the PEP is completed to the highest standard and serves as a key mechanism for promoting educational outcomes. This includes supporting the child's voice to be central at all times.
We have produced a guidance document to support carers in effective PEP completion.
Personal Education Plans – A Guide For Carers and Families
It is vital that we are kept up to date with changes of carer so that you have access to the correct PEP paperwork .
Please email virtualschool@peterborough.gov.uk with any changes or if you are struggling to login.
We run PEP support training for all adults caring for children in care.
These sessions explore how to log on to the PEP and the importance of carer contributions. They are designed to support foster carers, residential staff and others caring for children.
Further information can be found in our training brochure 2026-27 Training Offer for (Families and Carers)
