The Pupil Premium Grant per pupil for 2021 to 2022 is as follows:
Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium funding is allocated to schools from the Department for Education for all children who are entitled to Free School Meals, Looked after Children and the children of parents serving in the armed services.
At Gilbert Colvin Primary School we are committed to ensuring that all our children achieve and make excellent progress regardless of their gender, ethnic background, family income or background.
The progress of all children is regularly tracked throughout the year to ensure no individuals or groups of children fall behind. Where required, interventions are put into place so that children can catch up. The pupil premium funding has allowed us to finance a wide variety of interventions and strategies which are detailed below.
The success of these strategies is evaluated regularly to check their impact on the progress of our pupils. Where a strategy has not been successful it may be adapted or discontinued to ensure that what we are doing is worthwhile and so that we achieve good value for money.
Purpose of Pupil Premium?
