Pupil Premiums

Pupils in schools in England if eligible can receive a range of Pupil Premiums, the school receives the money into their budget and the Headteacher is tasked with identifying the best way to use the funds to meet the needs of the young people and the aims of the funding.

At Astley Park School we receive the following Pupil Premiums:

All pupils who are in receipt of Free School Meals and those who have been eligible within the last six years (Ever 6) receive a pupil premium grant.

Primary pupils receive £1,320 per year.

Secondary pupils receive £935 per year.

The aim of the funding is to ensure an equality of opportunity and to ensure that pupils are not disadvantaged due to reduced income within the household. The funding enables schools to offer additional support to pupils so that they are able to achieve as well as their non FSM peers.

Post Looked After Arrangement (PLAA)

Each pupil who is in a PLAA receives £1,900 per year.

The aim of this funding is to ensure an equality of opportunity and to ensure that pupils are not disadvantaged due to their unsettled start to life. The funding enables schools to offer additional support to pupils so that they are able to achieve as well as their non PLAA peers.

The aim of this funding is to ensure an equality of opportunity and to ensure that pupils are not disadvantaged due to their unsettled start to life. The funding enables schools to offer additional support to pupils so that they are able to achieve as well as their non CLA peers.

 

Y7 Numeracy & Literacy Catch-up Premium

All Year 7 pupils receive £450

The aim of this funding is to ensure all Year 7 pupils who have not met age related expectations in numeracy and literacy are offered additional support so that they are able to make enhanced rates of progress and ultimately achieve in line with their peers.

 

Primary PE & Sports Premium
