  • Attendance and exclusions are reduced and support is in place
  • Professionals supporting looked after learners are equipped with skills and knowledge to promote learning
  • Pupils and students experience reduced time without a school place and attend Good or Outstanding (Ofsted) schools
  • The voice of the pupil or student is paramount
