Pupil Premium Statement
The Purpose of the Pupil Premium Grant
The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children who are or have been eligible for free school meals in the past 6 years (FSM and Ever6), Children in Care, children whose parents are in the armed forces and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.
In most cases the Pupil Premium is allocated to schools and is clearly identifiable. It is for the school to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent. However, schools will be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils who qualify for the Pupil Premium. New measures will be included in the performance tables that will capture the achievement of the pupils covered by the Pupil Premium.
The impact of this spending is monitored and reviewed by the school on a termly basis.
