Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium


The Pupil Premium is funding to improve education outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in schools in England. Evidence shows that disadvantaged children generally face additional challenges in reaching their potential at school and often do not perform as well as other pupils. Funding is based on children registered for a free school meal and children that have been in care for more than six months.

 

Eligible Pupils Criteria:

  • Eligible for Free Schools Meals (FSM) in the last six years; or
  • Looked after continuously for 1 day or more
  • Adopted from care

At Lace Hill Academy, we use the Pupil Premium Grant funding to ensure that our disadvantaged pupils receive the highest quality of education to enable them to become active, socially responsible citizens of the future. We recognise that disadvantaged children can face a wide range of barriers which may impact on their learning.

 

Our ultimate objectives are to:

  • Remove barriers to learning created by poverty, family circumstance and background. Narrow the attainment gaps between disadvantaged pupils and their non-disadvantaged counterparts both within school and nationally
  • Ensure ALL pupils are able to read and write fluently and with good understanding to enable them to access the breadth of the curriculum
  • Develop confidence in their ability to communicate effectively in a wide range of contexts
  • Enable pupils to look after their social and emotional wellbeing and to develop resilience.

 

Here at Lace Hill Academy, we use a tiered approach to Pupil Premium spending where we look to improve teaching, targeted academic support and wider strategies to meet the needs of our pupils.

Service Pupil Premium (SPP)

 

Service pupil premium is additional funding for schools, but it is not based on disadvantage. It has been combined into pupil premium payments to make it easier for schools to manage their spending.

 

Eligible Pupils Criteria

Every pupil with a parent who:

  • is serving in HM Forces
  • has retired on a pension from the Ministry of Defence

 

This funding is primarily to help with pastoral support. It can also be used to help improve the academic progress of eligible pupils if schools deem this to be a priority.



Early Years Pupil Premium ( EYPP)


Early Years Pupil Premium is additional funding for early years’ pre-school settings to improve the education they provide for disadvantaged 3- and 4 year-olds including, but not restricted to, those adopted from care.
