Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium Funding was introduced by the Government in April 2011 with the purpose of giving additional money to support schools in raising the attainment of students:
- who receive free school meals (FSM)
- who have received free school meals at any time in the last 6 six years (FSM Ever 6)
- whose parents are service personnel
- who are children looked after (CLA)
It has been identified nationally that these students are more likely to underperform than those from less disadvantaged backgrounds. The aim of Pupil Premium Funding is to help schools to provide targeted support for these particular students.
Each school decides how it will use this funding as the Government does not prescribe how it should be spent. For more information on Pupil Premium Funding, please visit: www.education.gov.uk/schools/pupilsupport/premium
At Chancellor's School, we are committed to ensuring that all our students make the best possible progress. We strongly believe that achievement for all students, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, is best fostered through high expectations and good quality teaching and learning.
When making decisions about how best to use Pupil Premium Funding, we ensure that the money allocated to our school is used solely for its intended purpose. High quality teaching and learning is our preferred way to narrow gaps in attainment, and we look carefully at the latest research into optimising achievement across the spectrum of student backgrounds, and adapt this as appropriate, to meet the needs of our students.
