Pupil Premium
Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.
Pupil Premium Grant
The aim of the Pupil Premium money is to support our children from lower income families and to ensure we work closely with families to ensure any barriers to these pupils achieving and attaining as highly as other groups right across the curriculum are removed.
Pupil Premium is specific, additional funding that the government provides to schools to support the education of pupils who are eligible for free school meals, are looked after children or whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces.
The level of funding and the eligibility criteria change each financial year and the Department for Education has published details on its website here. Schools decide how to spend this money.
At Grange First School the Inclusion Committee, Finance, Premises and Staffing Committee and Curriculum and Achievement Committee have responsibility for making these decisions and monitoring their impact, alongside the Senior Leadership Team.
We review, evaluate and adjust the impact of our Pupil Premium spend every term. This is led by our Inclusion Committee.
