What is the Pupil Premium?
The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools so that they can support their disadvantaged pupils and close the attainment gap between them and their peers.. From September 2020, children who at any point in the past 6 years have been in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM) will receive £1385. Any child who has been continuously looked after for the past six months, or who has been adopted from care under the Adoption and Children Act 2002, or who has left care under a Special Guardianship or Residence Order will receive £2410. Finally, £320 goes to pupils whose parent/parents are currently serving in the armed forces or are in receipt of a pension from the MoD.
How the Pupil Premium is spent is monitored closely with all schools accountable for the impact of the money spent.
Our detailed Pupil Premium Strategy Statement includes intended outcomes, success criteria, actions/activities, rationale and evidence. This year’s strategy will be updated following each review throughout the year. Evidence for the rationale is taken from the Education Endowment Fund research, school data and other sources. Each strategy and spending element focuses on Teaching, Targeted Academic Support and Wider Strategies.
