Reporting to Parents
Pupil premium grant expenditure: Report to parents: 2018/19
Pupil Premium is additional funding provided to schools for supporting certain pupils to ensure they benefit from the same opportunities as other children. There are three categories that qualify for Pupil Premium:
- Children who are eligible for free school meals (FSM)
- Looked after children
- Armed forces children.
Principles and Aims
- At St Thomas More RC Primary School, it is our responsibility to ensure that all children in our school achieve their potential and in order to do so we seek to meet the individual needs of every child. Pupil Premium will be used and managed by us to enable us to tailor support for identified children in a range of ways appropriate to their needs.
- We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups. This includes ensuring that the needs of socially disadvantaged pupils are adequately assessed and addressed.
- We also recognise that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals. We reserve the right to allocate the pupil premium funding to support any pupil or groups of pupils the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.
- Pupil premium funding will be allocated following a needs analysis which will identify priority classes, groups or individuals. Limited funding and resources means that not all children receiving free school meals will be in receipt of pupil premium interventions at one time.
- All our work through the pupil premium will be aimed at accelerating progress, moving children to at least age related expectations.
- Pupil premium resources may also be used to target able children on free school meals to achieve higher levels.
