Pupil Premium 2016-2017

September 2016- September 2017 

The school will receive £25 680 for the financial year 2016-2017 allocated to pupil premium calculated on the numbers who have free school meals at any time within seven years of primary education, and children of armed service personnel.  This is a reduction of £6 600 from the previous year.  This is because fewer parents are applying. This maybe because of reduced numbers of parents eligible for FSM or the introduction of Universal Infant Free School Meals means parents do not apply for FSM status. However the school continues to promote application for the Free School Meals (FSM).  The school will be reassessed for funding levels in January 2017 for financial period of April 2017-March 2018. It is expected that the sum of money allocated will be reduced due the lower numbers of families applying/eligible for Free School Meals benefits.

This is the way we propose to allocate the money this year.
