Pupil Premium

What is the Pupil Premium?

The pupil premium is a Government initiative that provides additional money for pupils entitled to free school meals. The premium is provided to support these pupils in their learning in order to reach their potential. The Government does not specify how schools should use this money, but are clear that schools will need to employ strategies and resources that they know will support pupils towards at least good attainment and progress.

In the financial year April 2021 to March 2022, the school received £64,995 in pupil premium funding.

In the financial year April 2020 to March 2021, the school received £65,245 in pupil premium funding.

In the financial year April 2019 to March 2020, the school received £61,000 in pupil premium funding.

 

How is the Pupil Premium being used at Sarisbury?

We have used our Pupil Premium allocation to fund the following:

  • additional teaching and support staff who provide one-to-one tuition and intervention groups
  • additional teaching time to undertake pupil conferencing activities
  • the appointment of a children’s and families’ link worker
  • additional resources to support the learning needs of these pupils
  • support for extra-curricular activities and residential visits

 

How is the impact of the Pupil Premium evaluated?

The school evaluates the impact of this additional support alongside our regular assessment cycle. Evaluation focuses on academic gains and personal development learning; including how pupils’ self-confidence has improved as a consequence of intervention. Recommendations for the following term are then agreed.

 

What has the impact been so far?

To date, the Pupil Premium has contributed to:

  • increased confidence of pupils in their learning
  • good progress for our vulnerable pupils in reading, writing and maths
  • improved skills in literacy and numeracy in preparation for the next phase in pupils’ learning
  • wider participation in clubs, off-site activities and residential visits
