Joint Area Review (JAR) and Ofsted inspection reports|
Joint Area Review (JAR) 2005
"Attainment levels for Looked After Children are generally good . . . There is effective support for the education of Looked After Children . . . The LACE Service provide good support for Looked After Children."
Annual Performance Assessment (APA) 2006
"Outcomes for looked after children are excellent compared with other councils and show an improvement on last year's performance. Some 80 per cent of looked after children have achieved 1 GCSE. This is linked with high proportions of looked after children sitting GCSE examinations and the comparatively low rates of school absenteeism amongst looked after children."
Fostering Inspection Report 2007
"The fostering service promotes the educational achievement of children. They are very well supported by the Looked After Children Education (LACE) Service. This is a very motivated and dedicated team who involve foster carers in all aspects of educational matters."
