Pupil Premium

The pupil premium grant is funding to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in state-funded schools in England.

Pupil premium funding is allocated to eligible schools based on the number of:

• pupils who are recorded as eligible for free school meals, or have been recorded as eligible in the past 6 years (referred to as Ever 6 FSM)
• children previously looked after by a local authority or other state care, including children adopted from state care or equivalent from outside England and Wales

Pupil premium is not a personal budget for individual pupils, and schools do not have to spend pupil premium so that it solely benefits pupils who meet the funding criteria. It can be used:

• to support other pupils with identified needs, such as those who have or have had a social worker, or who act as a carer
• for whole class interventions which will also benefit non-disadvantaged pupils

All of us at Christ Church CE Primary School are committed to providing the best possible education for each individual pupil.  We have high aspirations and expectations for all our pupils.  We strive to overcome barriers to learning for pupils to give them the best possible chance of success.  We aim for all pupils including pupls eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant and Service Premium Grant to make good progress; achieve well across the curriculum and have access to wider opportunities. Indeed, as a school we want all children to learn, grow and flourish (which is our school motto from our school vision). The focus of our pupil premium strategy is to support disadvantaged pupils to achieve that goal.
