flag Inconsistent local support harms education for England’s children in care, with Ofsted urging national reform to close the gap.

flag A new Ofsted report released on March 12, 2026, reveals that inconsistent support from local authorities is undermining the education of children in care across England, with access to resources, virtual school services, and personal education plans varying widely. flag The findings highlight gaps in staff training, unclear national expectations, and weakened oversight after age 16, when some PEP meetings end. flag Despite dedicated efforts by schools, disparities in funding, coordination, and support create a "lottery" effect, hindering timely interventions. flag Ofsted urges a standardized national approach, improved training, better inter-agency collaboration, and continued support for older learners to close the education gap.
