Pupil PremiuM
The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools by the government to help close the gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers. It is designed to ensure that every child, regardless of their background, has the same opportunities to succeed.
Schools receive this funding for children who:
-
Are currently eligible for free school meals (FSM)
-
Have been eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years
-
Are looked after children (in care) or have previously been in care
-
Have parents currently serving in the armed forces
How We Use Pupil Premium at st michaels
We carefully plan how this funding is spent to make the greatest impact. This may include:
-
Providing additional teaching and support staff
-
Offering small group or one-to-one interventions
-
Supporting access to enrichment activities, trips, and clubs
-
Providing resources to support learning and wellbeing
Our Commitment
We are committed to ensuring that all children, no matter their background, are supported to achieve their full potential. Each year we publish a Pupil Premium Strategy Statement outlining how we use the funding and the impact it has on pupils’ learning and progress. If you think your child may be eligible for Free School Meals (and therefore Pupil Premium), please contact the school office in confidence for more information.
