The Pupil Premium is a sum of money in the school’s budget. It is allocated according to the number of children who are looked after or eligible for free school meals. It is intended to support schools in narrowing the gaps in attainment between different groups of pupils.
Pupil Premium Strategy
Context
- Roughly 13% of the school are entitled to pupil premium funding.
- There are currently no forces families within the school.
- The Headteacher works with the SENCO, family support worker, EWO, school nurse and identified pupil premium governor to develop a whole school approach to pupils entitled to PP.
- PEPs are used and actioned where necessary.
- The schools monitoring cycle looks specifically at PP children as well as non PP children.
Sports Premium
Most schools with primary aged pupils receive the PE and Sports Premium Funding.
Schools must use the funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of physical education (PE) and sport that they offer.
It is expected that schools will see an improvement against the following five key indicators:
- The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity – kick-starting healthy active lifestyles
- The profile of PE and sport being raised across the school as a tool for whole school improvement
- Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport
- Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils
- Increased participation in competitive sport
