Pupil Premium
What is the Pupil Premium?
The ‘Pupil Premium’ is a grant given to schools for each child who currently claims Free School Meals (FSM) or who has done so in the past six years. It is really important that all parents/carers of children eligible to do so register for free school meals, even if they don’t choose to have them, as the grant enables us to provide extra resources for our disadvantaged pupils.
Research has shown that children who have been on or are on Free School Meals do not attain as highly as other children in school. The government provides this grant so that we can commission and allocate additional support to ensure that they do.
The Pupil Premium Strategy Statement outlines our plan for 2024/2024 and includes details on how the money will be spent in specific relation to:
-
Teaching (e.g. CPD, recruitment and retention)
-
Targeted Academic Support (e.g. tutoring through the National Tutoring Programme, one to one support, structured interventions)
-
Wider strategies (e.g. related to attendance, behaviour and wellbeing)
The statement highlights the barriers to achievement, intended outcomes and strategies to address our identified challenges. We select strategies and interventions based on evidence-based practice, referring, for example to research conducted by the Education Empowerment Foundation.
