Pupil Premium Spending At West End Primary School
What is the Pupil Premium?
This is funding which is given to schools for every child who has free school meals. The government provides this funding because it believes there is a strong link between the financial background of families and their children’s achievement. We also receive a smaller amount for children from service families.
How does the school access the money?
We fill in a school census several times a year. We have to say on the census how many children we have on free school meals. The funding is multiplied by the number of children.
How can I find out if my child is eligible for free school meals and the Pupil Premium?
Please ask at the office as we have can answer your questions and help you apply for free school meals.
Can my child still benefit from the Pupil Premium even if they are on packed lunches?
Yes, possibly. If your family is eligible for free school meals but chooses to have packed lunches, your child would still be eligible for the Pupil Premium. This funding would come into school to benefit your child. Please ask at the office for further information or contact the Area Education Office on 01254 220716
Will my child lose the Pupil Premium funding if they stop having free school meals?
No, the school continues to receive the funding for 6 years. If the child moves onto high school in that time, the high school would receive the continued funding. This is called EVER6 funding.
What is the Pupil Premium spent on?
Schools have the freedom to decide what the funding is spent on as different schools receive different amounts. The only criterion is that it impacts upon the achievement of those children and enables them to succeed in the same way as other children. Ofsted check on the impact of the funding on the progress of these children.
