Pupil and Sports Premium, Free School Meals

Pupil Premium Grant (PPG)

What is it?

The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and diminish the difference between disadvantaged pupils and their peers.

Pupil premium funding is available to both mainstream and non-mainstream schools, such as special schools and pupil referral units. To see our PPG strategy for the coming academic year please see the document below.

Pupil Premium is given for children whose family income is low or for other specific reasons (see below). If you think your child may be eligible to receive this extra funding, please contact Mrs Gemmell in confidence.

How much is it?

Schools receive the following funding for each child registered as eligible for free school meals, now or at any point in the last 6 years:

£1,300 for primary-aged pupils or

£1,900 for each looked-after pupil who:

  • has been looked after for 1 day or more
  • was adopted from care on or after 30 December 2005, or
  • left care under a special guardianship order or  a residence order

How do we spend this money?

Pupil Premium grant has been used to build skills and expertise to provide ongoing nurture provision and resources; additional teaching assistant support; teaching time to reduce class sizes; one to one tuition and small booster groups;  pay for pupils to attend school activities/clubs and residentials; and for assessment of needs.  Further specific information is provided in the Pupil Premium Strategy below.

What difference has this made to the attainment of disadvantaged pupils?

The funds have supported our disadvantaged pupils to make improved progress in their learning and has ensured that they are have been able to participate fully in all activities.  A more detailed explanation as to how this money has been spent and the impact of this spending is provided in the Pupil Premium Strategy.
