Bin collections

Residents who are due to have brown bins emptied on Friday 22 November should leave these out for collection as normal. If we are unable to empty your brown bin, we will attempt to return next week. For more information, visit our Missed bins page.

Pupil Premium Plus (PP+)

Pupil Premium Plus (PP+) is a grant devolved to the Virtual School from the Department for Education. The Derby Virtual School headteacher has the responsibility and accountability for the Pupil Premium Plus Policy 2019-20 to benefit Derby City Looked After Children (LAC).

Targets set at the PEP that require support or intervention above and beyond what other children in the school receive can be funded through PP+.

In addition to the direct educational support that we offer, Derby Virtual School also supports wider achievements and learning.

If your LAC has music lessons through the Derby and Derbyshire Music Partnership in school, please ensure that they are accessing their assisted bursary which entitles them to discounted lessons and the loan of a free instrument.

Derby also fund projects that benefit groups of Looked After Children as well as support and training for the professionals that work with them.

Please refer to the Pupil Premium Plus Policy for guidance.
