The aim of the premium is to improve social mobility, to enable more pupils on free school meals to get to the top universities and to reduce the attainment gap between the highest and lowest achieving pupils nationally. Pupils looked after by the local authority and the children of armed service personnel are also entitled to this premium. As a school we decide how the allocated pupil premium funding should be spent. All schools are required to report on the amount of funding received and how this is being used. More details on the Pupil Premium can be found on www.gov.uk Principles To ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all of the pupils To ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups, this includes ensuring that the needs of socially disadvantaged pupils are adequately assessed and addressed In making provision for socially disadvantaged pupils, we recognise that not all pupils who receive free school meals will be socially disadvantaged. We also recognise that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals Pupil premium funding will be allocated following a needs analysis which will identify priority classes, groups or individuals We monitor and evaluate our Pupil Premium spending, avoid spending it on activities that have little impact on achievement, and spend it in ways known to be most effective Please see the attachments below for the current planned and previous PPG Spend.
