Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium Funding Expenditure and its impact at St Edward's:

The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most. The Pupil Premium is allocated to children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for FSM in both mainstream and non-mainstream settings and children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months.

The Government decided that eligibility for the Pupil Premium is to be extended to pupils who have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last 6 years. As a group, children who have been eligible for FSM at any point in time have consistently lower educational attainment than those who have never been eligible for FSM. This premium has also been introduced for children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces and children who have been adopted from care.

The barriers to educational achievement of pupil premium children at St. Edward's are extremely varied. Each case is taken into consideration on its own merits. This is why we attempt to use the funding broadly to ensure that we meet a wide range of needs.

Staffing costs are high at St Edward’s and currently all year groups have a Teaching Assistant to support groups identified for need. Intervention groups are targeting individuals and small groups of children at various points within the school day, some starting at 8:30 a.m. where children come to school early to complete extra work on reading or basic skills.

2017/18:

We have employed a Family Support Worker this year for half a day a week from September 2017. Already, she has been in contact with 14 families and has worked on issues relating to behaviour management at home, housing and finance.
Subsidising Pupil Premium children for the Y6 residential
Looked after children have a specified amount of money spend on them (as recommended by their PEP plan).
Sanctuary room in school where children with specific emotional and social needs are able to have time out, work quietly and or speak to an adult if an issue arises. This has already had a great impact as it is supervised at all times. Staff monitor its use very closely.
Speech and Language therapist into school fortnightly.
Breakfast Club staff, Senior Learning Mentor and interventions training as detailed below.
