The PPG per pupil for 2015 to 2016 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.
Are you entitled to the Pupil Premium?
If you are claiming:
- Income Support;
- Income-based Jobseekers’ Allowance;
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance;
- Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999;
- the guaranteed element of State Pension Credit; Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190);
- Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit or
- Universal Credit…
Then you may be eligible for Free School Meals and the Pupil Premium. This means not only will your child receive a free lunch but they also receive additional funding in accordance with the table below which must be spent by the school on your child’s education. If your child is in Reception, Year 1 or 2 then they will automatically receive a free school meal but only when you claim will your child receive the Pupil Premium funding. This money is used by the school to raise the attainment of these pupils. To find out more please see our website on the ‘Our School’ section.
