Pupil Premium and Sports Premium Reports
Pupil Premium
The Government gives an additional Pupil Premium grant to schools, which is additional to main school funding. This is given as a way to address underlying inequalities between ‘disadvantaged’ pupils and their ‘advantaged’ peers. ‘Disadvantaged’ describes pupils eligible for Free School Meals (FSM), those who have been eligible in the past six years (Ever6), or children who have been in care at some point in their lives. Schools also receive a smaller amount of funding for the children of serving military personnel.
Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium grant as they see fit. However, we are held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support pupils from low-income families. Our Inclusion Lead works with the Headteacher and the Governing Body to decide on the allocation of the funding and to monitor its impact.
Sports Premium
Sport Premium funding for Physical Education and School Sport was announced by the government in March 2013. The ‘ring-fenced’ funding – only to be spent on PE and Sport – goes directly to schools with the aim of improving the quality of provision in every state primary school in England. Individual schools will decide what is best for their children’s needs, however there are 5 key areas where this funding can be spent:
-
To increase staff confidence, knowledge and skills in teaching PE and sport (CPD and training).
-
To increase pupil engagement in regular physical activity and sporting opportunities.
-
To raise the profile of PE and sport across the school to support whole school improvement.
-
To offer a broader and more equal experience of a range of sports and physical activities, ensuring equal access for boys and girls.
-
To increase participation in competitive sport.
Our PE Subject Co-ordinator works with the Headteacher and Governors to agree the spending of the Sports Premium grant.
