Virtual School Head for looked after
children
The Virtual School Head role was successfully piloted by
eleven authorities for two years between 2007 and 2009.
The evaluation of the pilots found that the virtual school Head role can make
a real difference.
The post of Virtual School Head Teacher became become a statutory role in
2014.
The three key areas of responsibility of a virtual school head for which s/he
should be accountable are:
• To make sure that there is a system to track and monitor the attainment
and progress of looked after children
• To ensure that all looked after children have a robust and effective
personal education plan and access one-to-one support, including
personal tuition where appropriate
• To champion the educational needs of looked after children across the
authority and those placed out-of-authority
