Pupil Premium Strategy

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011, and paid by means of a specific grant based on school census figures for pupils registered as eligible for FSM in Reception to Year 11. For looked after children, the Pupil Premium was calculated using the Children Looked After data returns. A premium has also been introduced for children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces. This service premium is designed to address the emotional and social well-being of these pupils.

The Pupil Premium is additional to main school funding and is used to address any underlying inequalities amongst eligible children.  This document outlines how we intend to spend the funding in this academic year and the effect that last year’s spending of pupil premium had within our school.
