Pupil Premium Grant Expenditure – Report to Parents 2015-16
Background
In 2011-12 the Government launched Pupil Premium Funding. This funding is allocated to schools to support children from low-income families
(previously known to be eligible for Free School Meals), and children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months (including those
children who are adopted or under a Special Guardianship Order).
The rate for the year is £1,320 per child for low-income families, and £1,900 for LAC/Adopted/SGO children and the funding depends on the number of
children currently known to be eligible for Pupil Premium Grant. Schools also receive £1,320 funding for families who were eligible to receive Free School
Meals within the last 6 years (known as Ever-6). A premium is also available for those children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces,
or have been within the last 3 years. The current rate is £300.
Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit. However, we will be held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to
support pupils and how the children receiving this report are chosen. Schools are required to publish online information about how we have used the
Pupil Premium. This will ensure that parents and others are made fully aware of the attainment of pupils covered by the Premium and the extra support
they receive.

In 2015-16, Limpsfield C. E. Infant School has a total of £19,510 Pupil Premium Funding. Other funding may be added to this to ensure that we can
support all of the children identified for extra support. This money has been allocated to ensure that targeted children make sufficient academic progress
to meet nationally expected end of key stage levels or their own expected target if higher, as well as addressing the emotional and social well-being of
other pupils identified as needing extra support in this area.
The school plans to spend its Pupil Premium Funding in the following ways:

Impact
The main aim of this intervention is to support children’s selfesteem, attitudes to learning and enjoyment of school.
The impact of this intervention is measured partly through a pre and
post intervention assessment of social and emotional skills in
addition to the observations of the staff involved with the child. The
academic progress of these children is also monitored as an
identified group to ensure that we are meeting their needs to enable
them to learn.

Allocated: £346
To enhance the curriculum and to give all
children the opportunity to experience
new and challenging activities.
To ensure children identified for support
can access school milk.
High Needs Learning Support
Assistants
Allocated: £13,064
We have a number of children with high
levels of social and emotional needs who
are eligible for Pupil Premium funding
and also have significant Special Needs.
These children are supported through
individual, group and in class
interventions using our Assess, Plan, Do,
Review cycle to maximise achievement
and well-being.
Learning beyond the classroom has a significant impact on the
achievement and well-being of pupils. Ensuring that all children can
access these experiences ensures equality of opportunity for each
child to fulfil their potential.
Many of our children benefit from the access to school milk at
playtimes. Funding school milk for children identified for support
ensures they can access this benefit.
Our High Needs Learning Support Assistants are used to provide
extra support for these children to ensure that their social and
emotional needs are addressed so that they are ready to learn as
well as providing interventions to meet their learning needs.
This also supports all our children by fostering a positive learning
environment for everyone.
