Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium is additional government funding for schools to help overcome the barriers faced by some young learners, and to narrow the achievement gap.
Funding is allocated based on the number of students who have been eligible for Free School Meals in the past six years, as well as children who are in the care of the local authority and children of Armed Forces personnel.
Principles
-
Pupil Premium funding is a key tool in tackling disadvantage and removing barriers to achievement.
-
High expectations apply to all students—we believe that all pupils can achieve excellence.
-
We focus on individual needs, rather than labels, and ensure all pupils have the support they need to progress.
-
Teaching and learning are designed to meet diverse needs, with additional support integrated into the curriculum.
- The school targets this additional funding to support those pupils who are eligible for the Pupil Premium; other students may also benefit from this support.
The Pupil Premium strategy is reviewed annually.
