Pupil Premium Funding

Pupil Premium Funding is an additional amount of money given to schools, on top of their main budget. Every school receives a fixed amount of money per pupil for all pupils meeting certain criteria. It is an allocation of additional funding provided to schools to support specific groups of children who are vulnerable to possible underachievement.

These include pupils who currently entitled to Free School Meals (FSM), those who have been eligible for FSM at any given point for the last six years, those who have been looked after by the local authority for at least six months, and the children of Armed Services Personnel.

The intended effect of the funding is to accelerate progress and raise attainment. Not all eligible children will necessarily require additional support, but Bosbury School always adopts the same approach with eligible children as with any other child found to be at risk of falling behind academically or socially.

The main aims of Pupil Premium Funding are to:

It is for schools to decide how their Pupil Premium Funding is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for all individual pupils within their responsibility. Schools will however be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils. From September 2012, schools have been required to publish online information about how they have used the funding.

At Bosbury, we work closely with parents and carers to understand each child fully, and how best put in place additional provision where needed which is both appropriate and effective.
