Pupil Premium Funding – Please read our Pupil premium strategy statement to find out about how we use this funding at All Saints CE Primary School and Nursery

​

What is Pupil Premium Funding?

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

Pupil premium funding is allocated to local authorities based on the number of:

· looked-after children, supported by the local authority

· pupils who meet any of the eligibility criteria and who attend an independent setting, where the local authority pays full tuition fees

For pupils who are looked-after children, funding should be managed by the local authority’s virtual school head (VSH) in consultation with the child’s school.

 

Service Pupil Premium

Service pupil premium is additional funding for schools with pupils who have parents serving in the armed forces.

Pupils are eligible if they meet the following 2 criteria:

· one of their parents is serving in the regular armed forces, including pupils with a parent who is on full commitment as part of the full-time reserve service – this includes pupils with a parent who is in the armed forces of another nation and is stationed in England

· they have been registered as a ‘service child’ on any school census in the past 6 years

They would also be eligible if:

· one of their parents died whilst serving in the armed forces and the pupil receives a pension under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme or the War Pensions Scheme

This funding is primarily to enable schools to offer pastoral support and help mitigate the negative impact of family mobility or parental deployment. It can also be used to help improve the academic progress of eligible pupils if the school deems this to be a priority.
