Pupil Premium

The pupil premium is additional funding for schools from the government to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.

Schools received funding for the following groups of pupils:

• Pupils who have been recorded as being eligible for free school meals at any point in the past six years.
• Pupils who are in the care of, or are provided accommodation by, a local authority.
• Pupils who are no longer looked after by a local authority because of adoption, a special guardianship order, a child arrangements order, or a residence order.

If you think your child/ children may be eligible for the Pupil Premium, you can use the link below to check. You will need your full name, date of birth and National Insurance Number (or National Asylum Seeker Service Number).
 

Our approach to using Pupil Premium funding

1. To ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all the pupils.
2. To ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups, this includes ensuring that the needs of socially disadvantaged pupils are adequately assessed and addressed.
3. In making provision for socially disadvantaged pupils, we recognise that not all pupils who receive free school meals will be socially disadvantaged.
4. To recognise that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals. We reserve the right to allocate the Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil or groups of pupils the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.
5. Pupil Premium funding will be allocated following a needs analysis which will identify priority classes, groups or individuals. Limited funding and resources means that not all children receiving free school meals will be in receipt of pupil premium interventions at any one time.
