Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium Funding

Pupil Premium is additional funding which is allocated to schools on the basis of the number of pupils who have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point over the last six years (known as ‘Ever 6 FSM’).

The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their wealthier peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most. The Department for Education urges schools and local authorities to encourage parents to register their child as eligible for FSM so that each school receives their maximum Pupil Premium entitlement. Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit. However they will be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils from low-income families.

 

This money is allocated to initiatives to ensure pupils reach their full potential, both academically and socially. The impact of our pupil premium spend is to ‘close’ and ‘eradicate’ the gap for FSM children, we have a named Governor who has responsibility for ensuring we reach this aim: Miss Fletcher supported by the Chair of Governors and the Full Governing Body. 

 

Please click on the documents below to see how we have chosen to allocate the Pupil Premium spend at Wimboldsley Primary School and the IMPACT that the money has had on our pupils.

The Pupil Premium Strategy is reviewed on a termly basis.  The Full Governing Body review Pupil Premium at their termly meetings.  They agree the strategy in the Autumn Term meeting and review the impact in the Summer Term meeting.  

If your child does not have Free School Meals, but may be eligible because of your family's income level, please contact the school office (in confidence) to register them.   Even if you do not wish for your child to have free school meals, this would mean the school could still claim Pupil Premium funding that may be used to help your child.
