Pupil Premium 2014-2015

Pupil Premium Grant is an additional sum of money paid to all schools in order to tackle disadvantage resulting from low income or family circumstance. The amount is calculated based on the number of students on roll at the school who are currently eligible for free school meals or have been eligible in the last six years, and those students who are looked after in the care of a local authority for at least six months. The funding is designed to allow schools to provide for students who need it most and to counter deprivation and address inequality. The government allows schools to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent each year since it is schools who are best placed to decide on additional provision and support for individual students. The annual performance tables also details the achievement of students who attract Pupil Premium Grant funding. The funding is allocated on a financial year basis, not an academic year basis.

Autumn Term Review 2014-2015
The school have secured 4 additional teachers who work across the school in targeted support as detailed below. The diagram below highlights how the Pupil Premium Grant is used to fund additional adults to support significant areas that will drive accelerated progress for Pupil Premium children.
The Nurture Suite & library are in the process of being built and should be completed. Once completed the school will offer additional groups & learning opportunities for both children and adults.
Last year identified a need to support Numeracy and ensure that the progress for Pupil premium children is accelerated. Numicon has been purchased and all staff are receiving training in an INSET day on 14th November. This will support more focused booster groups.
