PUPIL PREMIUM PLAN
2014-15
PUPIL PREMIUM FUNDING:
Purpose
The government believes that the pupil premium, which is
additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the
current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free
school meals (FSM) and their peers by ensuring that funding to
tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.
The pupil premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated
to schools to work with pupils who have been registered for free
school meals at any point in the last six years (known as ‘Ever 6
FSM’).
Schools also receive funding for children who have been looked
after continuously for more than six months, are adopted or are
children of service personnel.
Accountability
The government believes that head teachers and school leaders
should decide how to use the pupil premium. They are held
accountable for the decisions they make through
• the performance tables which show how well disadvantaged
pupils progress compared with their peers
• andthe Ofsted inspection framework, under which inspectors
focus on the attainment of pupil groups, and in particular those
who attract the pupil premium.
The school has a responsibility to publish information on their
website about how this funding has been spent.
For the Year 2013-2014 Harpfield Primary Academy received
£72,000 as Pupil Premium and the following plan outlines how this
will be spent, monitored and impact measured.
