Pupil Premium Funding

What it is, how it is used and the impact.

What it is

The Pupil Premium is funding that comes into school based on

the numbers of children from:

• low income families (eligible for free school meals)
• children from service families
• children who have been “looked after” by a Local Authority continuously for more than six months. 

How it is used

Schools decide how to spend the money to meet needs and close the gaps that children may have in their academic, personal, emotional or family needs; these can be long or short term needs.  This money enables us to use additional resources (items and people) and provide opportunities to enable children to achieve their personal potential. 

We are required to publish online information about how we use the funding to ensure that parents/carers and others are made fully aware of the support that is being provided and the impact it is having on the children.  This is reviewed at the end of each academic year.
