Pupil Premium

What is Pupil Premium?
The pupil premium is additional government funding given to schools to help them tackle problems faced by socially disadvantaged children and to close the attainment gap between those children and their peers. Schools are free to use the pupil premium as they see fit but are accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support low income families.

How is Pupil Premium allocated?

The Pupil Premium is allocated to schools for children of statutory school age from low-income families who are known to be eligible for Free school meals (FSM) in both mainstream and non-mainstream settings : to children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months and to children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces.

Pupil Premium funding includes pupils eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years (known as the Ever 6 FSM measure).

Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit in order to support identified children. However, we will be held accountable for how we use the funding to support those children from low-income families.

Our principles for allocating Pupil Premium
We have adopted the following principles for ensuring that the use of pupil premium is appropriate to the needs of our school:

• We recognise that teaching and learning must meet the needs of all pupils.

• We recognise that there has been a history of lower attainment for socially disadvantaged children. However, not all socially disadvantaged children are in receipt of free school meals or are low attainers. Moreover, low attainment occurs in other social groups and some free school meals children are high attainers. A carefully balanced approach is therefore required.

• Our allocation of pupil premium to teaching and learning resources will therefore predominantly target low attainment generally, irrespective of social background.

• Use of pupil premium is subject to continuous close monitoring to ensure that its use is effective.

Success Criteria and Monitoring
To ensure the effective use of Pupil Premium we monitor progress made in literacy, numeracy and writing by free school meals children compared with progress made by all children. This information is included in a termly report submitted to the Governing Body and scrutinised in detail by a Governor working party.

Primary Physical Education and Sports Premium

WHAT IS PE AND SPORT PREMIUM FUNDING?
PE and Sport Premium is an initiative that aims to help increase and improve the PE and sporting opportunities for children in primary school.

PE and Sport Premium funding is provided jointly by the Department for Education, the Department for Health and Culture and the Department for Media and Sport. It has been allocated to primary school headteachers and is ring-fenced, meaning that it can only be spent on the provision of PE and sport in schools.

The Government believes that headteachers and school leaders should decide how to use the funding for PE and Sports in school. They are held accountable for the decisions they make through:

The performance outcomes of all pupils compared with their peers
The Ofsted inspection framework, under which inspectors focus on the attainment of pupil groups, in particular in those areas where specific funding has been provided
The reports that schools are required to publish online for Parents

At West Lynn Primary School we aim to use the funding effectively to ensure that the standards of learning and achievement in PE and Sports are raised, with all children, engaging in physical activity as part of the curriculum and extra-curricular provision.

COVID Catch-Up Funding 2020-2021

The Government are providing £650 million of universal catch-up premium funding, schools are being allocated on a per pupil basis with a total of £80 for each pupil in Reception to Year 11.

Our school currently have 205 children on roll, and we receive £16,400 to support the catch-up for lost teaching over the period when schools were asked to close for the majority of children.

Clenchwarton Primary School have used research from the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) to produce an action plan of how the money will be spent.

To view our full intent on how the grant will be spent and how the effect this expenditure will have on the educational attainment of those pupils at the school, will be assessed, please click on the link below:
