Impact of Pupil Premium
Annual Report for Parents and Carers
Academic Year 2015 - 2016

The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) funding is allocated to improve pupil attainment and to help to overcome barriers to learning. In making provision for socially disadvantaged children we recognise that not all children who receive Free School Meals [FSM] will be socially disadvantaged, we also recognise that not all children who are socially disadvantaged are registered or qualify for FSM. Some spending of the PPG will also be an advantage to other pupils across the School through improving staff knowledge and increasing access to resources.Schools are required to report on the spending of the Pupil Premium Grant over an academic year.

The grant may be spent in the following ways:

  • for the purposes of the school i.e. for the educational benefit of pupils registered at that school
  • for the benefit of pupils registered at other maintained schools or academies
  • on community facilities eg services whose provision furthers any charitable purpose for the benefit of pupils at the school or their families, or people who live or work in the locality in which the school is situated

The tables below indicate the levels of progress within the year 2015-2016 for the PPG pupils in areas of English and Maths. Nationally expected progress varies within Key Stages and according to prior attainment levels. A general expectation over one year would be to progress in the same level or make one level of progress. The numbers below indicate progress for PPG pupils is the same as or exceeds that of non PPG pupils in the school. Scrutiny of assessments and work supports this.
