Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium Funding 2016-17
The government has set up Pupil Premium funding, which is additional to main school funding, to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals and their peers. This funding ensures that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most. The pupil premium funding is provided in order to support these pupils in reaching their potential.
The pupil premium is allocated to children from low-income families who have been eligible for free school meals.

We think that by spending the pupil premium money in this way we are supporting our most disadvantaged pupils in a broad variety of ways. Not only does it have a positive impact on enhancing their educational experiences and help them to progress within lessons but also develops their self-esteem, confidence and aspirations.
We track all pupil premium children extremely carefully through the school in terms of their academic attainment but also monitor their social and emotional needs too. Regular Head Teacher ‘Pupil Progress’ meetings, ‘Additional Needs’ staff meetings enable us to discuss individual children in detail.
The impact of the funding has been very positive. Our recent performance figures for pupil premium children show that they compare favourably with national average children.
