Pupil Premium

Context

The aim of the Government’s Pupil Premium is to raise achievement amongst disadvantaged children. The Pupil Premium will provide additional funding for disadvantaged pupils to ensure they benefit from the same educational opportunities as pupils from wealthier families. The pupil premium has a number of wider aims:

• To increase social mobility.
• To enable more pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to get to the top universities.
• To reduce the attainment gap between the highest and lowest achieving pupils nationally.

Pupil Premium is allocated to schools per Free School Meal (FSM) pupil in the last 6 years (‘Ever 6’), and Children Looked After (CLA). It is for schools to decide how to spend it since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.

Aim

The main focus of The Constance Bridgeman Centre's spending of the Pupil Premium is to improve outcomes for our most vulnerable pupils.
