Pupil Premium funding is calculated on the number of children who have received free school meals at present or during the previous 6 years of education, those who are in the care of a local authority and those who are Armed Forces children.
Principles
We ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all the pupils. We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups, this includes ensuring that the needs of disadvantaged pupils are adequately assessed and addressed. In making provision for disadvantaged pupils, we recognise that not all pupils who receive free school meals will be disadvantaged. We also recognise that not all pupils who are disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals. We reserve the right to allocate the Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil or groups of pupils the school has legitimately identified as being disadvantaged. Pupil premium funding will be allocated following a needs analysis which will identify priority classes, groups or individuals.

Dear Parents,
We need you… help us get extra funding and it will not cost you a penny!
Schools are entitled to extra funding called ‘Pupil Premium,’ which the Government gives to schools to help children that may need extra support. The Government decides who gets the funding using the following criteria:
- Ever Six (Free School Meals)
- Service Children
- Post-LAC
Each child who qualifies for pupil premium will be allocated up to £1,320 per child per year, depending on which category they fall in to. Once a child qualifies, the school can then claim the funding for 6 years which is a huge help and the extra money can be spent on things like support staff, learning materials and equipment to help your child.
