Total on roll: 104 No. of Pupil Premium children: 36 = £46,800
The pupil premium provides additional funding to schools to target specific groups of children who are vulnerable to underachievement. These include pupils from low income families; children in care and the children of armed service personnel. This year schools will receive £1,323 per pupil and £300 per service child.
The purpose of the pupil premium is to raise achievement and aspirations of disadvantaged groups of children. The Premium is intended to help schools to provide targeted support to improve the life chances of children from lower income families and young people who face additional challenges in their lives so that they can reach their full potential. The government has given schools discretion in how to best use the funding to meet the needs of their children.

1. Ofsted report (Feb 2015) stated that, “the additional funding from the pupil premium is used well.
Additional staff is employed to give extra help to this group of pupils. Their progress is carefully checked to ensure that they make good progress. This is a good example of how the school ensures all pupils have an equal opportunity to learn and none are discriminated against.”
2. Targeted children are supported through transitions in the school day. ELSA provides targeted support for identified Pupil Premium children during morning welcome and they are monitored during break times to support social inclusion. This has ensured children settle more quickly to their learning and that there is minimal distraction to the rest of the class.
3. Family Support Worker has supported 8 families which are building good links with the community and families providing early support for Pupil Premium children. This has led to increased attendance and improved behaviour by a number of the children.
4. Trips have been supplemented to ensure no children miss any learning opportunities. For example, all children attended the Longleat trip.

5. Year 6 Pupil Premium children attended the “Lighting the Fire” event aimed at raising children’s aspirations and inspiring them in their learning
