Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many adopted children currently receive pupil premium plus.

Local authorities receive funding for post-looked after children (post-LAC) pupils through the pupil premium plus grant. This covers pupils that are no longer in the local authorities’ care having been adopted or placed through a special guardianship order, a child arrangements order or a residence order. In 2019-20 funding was allocated to local authorities for 52,492 such pupils. This information is provided in the document titled Pupil premium allocations 2019 to 2020: national, local authority, parliamentary constituency level (attached), which can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pupil-premium-allocations-and-conditions-of-grant-2019-to-2020.
