Pupil Premium Spending Plan

What is Pupil Premium?

Pupil premium is additional funding to schools to enable them to improve education outcomes for disadvantaged pupils 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.

How is it spent?

The Government recomend 3 main areas that the Pupil Premium funding is used for:

1. Teaching

Investing in high-quality teaching, for example:

training and professional development for teachers
recruitment and retention
support for teachers early in their careers

2. Targeted academic support

Additional support for some pupils focussed on their specific needs, for example:

one-to-one tuition
small group tuition
speech and language therapy

3. Wider approaches

Support for non-academic issues that impact success in school, such as attendance, behaviour and social and emotional challenges. For example:

school breakfast clubs / after school activities
Funding of extra curricular activities providing wider experiences for children
counselling to support emotional health and wellbeing
help with the cost of educational trips or visits

Schools can choose to spend their additional funding on any of the areas above and also on schemes that are most relevant for their school and are recomended by the Educaiton Endowment Foundation.
