Pupil Premium

What is the Pupil Premium?

The Pupil Premium was introduced by the Government to give additional money to support schools in raising the attainment of children who receive free school meals, children whose parents serve in the Armed Forces and those children in local authority care.  This grant which is additional to main school funding is to be used to address the inequalities between children eligible for free school meals and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.

At the GPP Federation, we are committed to helping support the children within our school to improve their long-term learning outcomes, their long-term well-being and their long-term view of themselves.  We want to improve their feelings of safety in school, in the community and in their own homes.  We want to improve their understanding that they can make important contributions to society, to their own family and to school.  We want to remove any ceilings on their ability to reach a higher level of education.  We want to assist disadvantaged pupils to be articulate, caring and self-motivated adults who will be able to make real choices and debate their ideas.  We want to encourage creativity and foster hope.

We support the most disadvantaged children by prioritising them for all support and experiences.  We use the Pupil Premium funding to enhance achievement through identifying barriers, monitoring progress and amending quality first teaching and interventions to ensure effective teaching and learning takes place.  We help to remove barriers to success by providing targeted support to promote core skills in reading, writing and maths, as well as oracy skills.  We promote high expectations of achievements and encourage high aspirations for their futures.
