What is Pupil Premium Funding?

Pupil Premium funding is additional funding for publicly funded schools to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all ability levels to close the gap between them and their peers. Each year this funding is deployed in a variety of ways to support disadvantaged pupils and this is reviewed each September to identify the impact and assess the needs for the following year.

The government outlines pupils in the following categories to be eligible for pupil premium:

· ‘Ever 6 FSM’

· Looked after children

· Service children

It is the responsibility of the Principal and School Leaders to determine where to allocate the funding.  The next review of our Pupil Premium funding will take place in July 2021.

Highgate Primary Academy School Strategy

At Highgate Primary Academy we aim to use the funding to help to breakdown any potential barriers to children who may have faced any form of disadvantage at some point in their educational journey with us. We aim to ensure that all children, regardless of background, have the highest quality education and opportunities to ensure they reach their potential. When considering how we spend the PPG we ensure that we use the latest research and evidence from EEF (https://educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk) and evidence from school based findings.

Sport Premium Grant

The Government provides funding each academic year to be spent on PE and sport.  This goes directly to schools who will decide what is best for their children’s needs with the aim of improving the quality of provision.
