Pupil Premium

 

Pupil Premium Grant

The Pupil Premium Grant is funding provided to schools which is additional to main school funding to specifically benefit children who:

  • Are entitled to Free School Meals 
  • Have at any point in the last 6 years been entitled to Free School Meals
  • Are looked after children and have been in care for at least 6 months
  • Are the children of current Service Personnel
  • Are the children of Service Personnel at any point during the last 4 years. 

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. Schools are required to publish this information on the school website.

At St Breward Primary School we allocate the funding across 3 key areas:

1. To provide high quality teaching and learning for our children  

Pupil Premium Grant Funding is used to support the school in providing high quality teaching and learning experiences for all children.

  • We will be using the funding to enable our staff to have opportunities to attend high quality professional training, which promotes quality learning experiences for our children.
  • We have deployed additional Teaching Assistant support in targeted year groups to ensure that the needs of Pupil premium pupils are being fully met. 

 2. Targeted academic support 

In order to ensure that our children make at least good progress, we employ specific interventions to support those pupils who need additional support both inside and outside of the classroom.

  • We are providing targeted speech and language interventions to those who require additional support. This is carried out by our trained teaching assistants.
  • We are providing additional support for lower ability readers and have trained staff to deliver these.
  • In addition to this we also provide access to trained TIS worker to support the emotional needs of our children across the school.

 3. Enrichment, Enhancement and wider strategies 

To ensure full participation and access to all activities, this year we will be using some of the funding to subsidise costings for residential visits and curriculum enhancement activities that take place over the year for Pupil Premium Pupils.
