Pupil Premium Funding

The Pupil Premium is an annual allocation of additional funding provided to schools to support specific groups of children who are vulnerable to possible underachievement. These include pupils who are entitled to free school meals (or who have been eligible in the past), those looked after by the local authority and children of armed services personnel. The intended effect of this funding is to accelerate progress and raise attainment.

All schools are required to report on the amount of funding received, how this is being used and the impact of any work done.

At Fellside, we aim for all pupils to fulfil their potential and, as a result, we make organisational and resource decisions based upon supporting the best progress for all.  It is important to note that, just because a child is within a certain category such as Free School Meals, this does not mean that they are falling behind.  Therefore, we aim to use the funding to best impact those children who require additional support as well as those categorised as disadvantaged.  Supporting the achievement of any child can happen in a wide variety of ways such as:

• providing specific adult support (including small group and 1:1 intervention)
• purchase of additional educational resources
• supporting pupil emotional wellbeing
• providing learning experiences that engage and enthuse
