Ashley Junior School – Pupil Premium 2015-2016
Under current government regulations all schools receive a certain amount of money (PPA), which
is solely for the purpose of raising attainment for children receiving a Free School Meal (FSM), due
to the family income falling below a certain threshold. The government has widened the coverage
of the Pupil Premium to include those eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years. Currently
for each FSM child we receive £1320.
Please register your child if you are eligible using the easy online facility which has been launched
by Hampshire County Council Catering Services (HC3S). You can now check your eligibility for
FSM. This self-service option is available at:
www.hants.gov.uk/caterers/hc3-freeschoolmeals
Schools decide how the Pupil Premium is spent since it is recognised that they are best placed to
assess what additional provision should be made for the pupils within their responsibility.
We also receive the Service Children Premium for children whose parent is employed in the
armed forces. This has been extended to include children whose parent has left the service up to
three years ago.
All schools are required to report on the amount of funding received and how this is being used.
For the academic year 2015/16 the school has received £102,280 in Pupil Premium funding,
equating to 74 children. The table below shows the provision for pupils on Pupil Premium, the
intended outcomes of the provision and the cost.
