St Thomas' Pupil Premium
Background
The Pupil Premium (PP) is a grant given to schools for each child who claims free school meals currently or who has done so in the past six years. Research has shown that pupils who have been or are on free school meals do not attain as highly as other children in school. The government provides this grant so we can allocate additional support to ensure that disadvantaged children do attain well. The support can be in a short burst or over a longer period such as a term or a year or more. It may take the form of one-to-one support, small group teaching or additional teacher support in class. It could also be enrichment or access to opportunities that enhance learning and aspiration.
Aims
Our main aims are:
- To close the gap in attainment for PP pupils in all subjects
- To maintain high expectations and standards for all PP pupils
- To ensure that all pupils are given the same opportunities to develop their potential and participate in activities in and outside school
This statement details our school’s use of pupil premium for the 2024 to 2027 academic years to help improve the attainment of disadvantaged pupils.
It outlines the school's pupil premium strategy, how the school intends to spend the funding in this
academic year and the effect that last year’s spending of pupil premium funding had within the
school.
Sports Premium
Primary schools receive a sports premium to fund additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport, to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.
Schools cannot use the premium to fund coaches covering planning, preparation and assessment time for teachers, or to meet the costs of delivery the minimum requirements of national curriculum PE, including swimming. These costs come from the school’s main budget.
