Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium Grant is additional funding given to schools to provide extra support to groups of pupils, to help schools close the attainment gap between children from low-income and other disadvantaged families and their peers.
Who is eligible for extra funding?
Pupils in Reception to Year 6 who have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years
Looked After Children (LAC), as one who is in the care of, or provided with accommodation by an English local authority
Children who have ceased to be looked after by a local authority in England and Wales because of adoption, a special guardianship order, a child arrangements order or a residence order
Pupils in year groups Reception to Year 11 recorded as Ever 6 service child or in receipt of a child pension from the Ministry of Defence
Our Aims for using the Pupil Premium Grant
To narrow the attainment gap between children who receive pupil premium funding and those who do not.
To enable those children receiving the pupil premium funding to make expected progress by the end of KS1
To enable those children receiving the pupil premium funding to make at least expected progress between KS1 and KS2
To provide all children receiving the pupil premium funding to have equal opportunity to participate in educational and residential visits, having a positive impact on their well-being
A large part of our Pupil Premium Grant is used to provide extra Teaching Assistant hours. This allows us to provide:
Small group work or 1:1 support within the classroom
Intervention programmes to raise attainment in reading, writing and maths
The Pupil Premium Grant is spent on a range of initiatives and activities to make sure the above aims are met.
What is the impact of our pupil premium spending?
We evaluate our spending of pupil premium to ensure that it is being spent on strategies that provide the most impact for our children.
