Pupil Premium
Information
We are delighted that the positive work from our PP action plan was recognised within our recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024.
‘Pupils display a thirst for learning at this highly ambitious and aspirational school. The school has extremely high expectations for all pupils. Pupils make incredible progress through the curriculum and achieve outcomes that are significantly above national averages. Disadvantaged pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve extremely well.’
Our 2024 GCSE results also show that our PP students perform significantly higher than the national average. We will continue to spend our PP resources to further develop life chances and opportunities for our PP students.
The pupil premium grant is funding to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in state-funded schools in England.
The grant also provides support for children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces, referred to as service pupil premium (SPP).
Pupil premium funding is allocated to eligible schools based on the number of:
- pupils who are recorded as eligible for free school meals, or have been recorded as eligible in the past 6 years (referred to as Ever 6 FSM)
- children previously looked after by a local authority or other state care, including children adopted from state care or equivalent from outside England and Wales
Pupil premium is not a personal budget for individual pupils, and schools do not have to spend pupil premium so that it solely benefits pupils who meet the funding criteria. It can be used:
- to support other pupils with identified needs, such as those who have or have had a social worker, or who act as a carer
- for whole class interventions which will also benefit non-disadvantaged pupils.
