Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium Statement

The Pupil Premium is funding provided to schools which is additional to main school funding. The premium is designed to help each school boost the attainment of disadvantaged children and reduce the gap between the highest and lowest achievers. It is allocated according to the number of pupils on-roll who are eligible for free school meals (FSM), a smaller amount allocated according to the number of children of service families, and an allocation for each pupil who has been ‘Looked After’ (in care) for 6 months or more.

Key facts
•	The level of the premium in 2011-12 was £488 per pupil for pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM) and for pupils in care who have been continuously looked after for six months. It increased to £619 per pupil in 2012-13, £1300.00 in 2014 – 15 and £1320.00 for 2015/16

•	The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011, and paid to local authorities by means of a specific grant based on January 2011 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 (SSDA903).

It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.
However, schools are to be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils from low-income families. From September 2012, this information must be published on the school website.

Please see below for information regarding how our pupils premium funding was spent in the last financial year, the impact of this funding, and the plans for future spending.

Principles
•	We ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all our pupils.
•	We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups.
•	We recognise some pupils who do not receive free school meals may have some significant barriers to learning.
•	We reserve the right to allocate the Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil who has legitimately been identified as being disadvantaged or at risk of being unable to access learning effectively.
•	Pupil Premium funding will be allocated on a needs basis, linked to analysis of outcomes for pupils. Limited funding and resources may mean that not all children who receive free school meals will be in receipt of pupil premium intervention at any one time.
