Personal education plan (PEP)

You have an important part to play in in the planning of your education! There are several people who can support you reach your goal in education - this might be your designated teacher in school or college, your social worker, your carer or your link person at Shropshire Virtual School.

You can talk to them about your experiences - for example what you're enjoying about your education and what you may be finding a little more challenging.

During or before the PEP meeting, you'll be supported to complete questions around your current education. This is to share your thoughts and opinions on how you feel your education is going.

You'll have personal education plan meetings (PEPs) up to the last academic year in which you turn 18 years old. These meetings are planned to make sure you receive excellent educational opportunities and support you with future life choices that might interest you - such as college, university, or employment.
