Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium is an allocation of funding provided to schools to support children who may be vulnerable to underachievement. The amount received is dependant on the number of children who are eligible and have claimed for free school meals at any time in the last six years. All schools are required to report on the amount of funding they receive and how this is being used.


Principles
  • We organise teaching and learning in order to meet the needs of all children in the best way.
  • We ensure that appropriate provision is made for children who belong to vulnerable groups and that socially disadvantaged children have their needs adequately assessed and met.
  • We will allocate Pupil Premium funding after a needs analysis to identify priority groups and individuals.
The Directors, Governors, Executive Headteachers and Academy Heads monitor the impact of this provision using a number of different measures including pupil progress and attainment data, lesson observations and consultation with pupils and parents.

How to apply for Pupil Premium Funding

The pupil premium is additional funding given to state-funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.

There are 4 elements to pupil premium:

  • Free school meal eligibility
  • service children
  • adopted from care, special guardianship order and residence order
  • children in care

Any qualifying family that registers their eligibility (based on the free school meal criteria) will help raise pupil premium money for the school. For 2020-21, the additional funding will be £1,345 for a primary school, for each registered child.
