Pupil Premium Funding

Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.

Pupil Premium: Proposed Spending 2020/2021

What is Pupil Premium? :

Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is an additional source of funding provided to schools to help them address any underlying inequalities between eligible children and their peers. The measure used for identifying eligible children is as follows:

• registered as eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) during the preceding 6 years
• ‘looked after’ by the local authority (CLA)
• have a parent currently serving in the armed forces

In the 2020/2021 financial year schools will receive £1345 per eligible pupil. Looked after children (LAC), defined in the Children Act 1989 as one who is in the care of, or provided with accommodation by an English local authority, or, children who have ceased to be looked after by a local authority in England and Wales because of adoption, a special guardianship order, a child arrangement order or a residence order will receive £2,345.

It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual children within their responsibility. However, schools are accountable for how they use the additional funding. Part of this accountability is for schools to report on how the Pupil Premium has been used.

The following report illustrates how we at Broomgrove Junior School are using the Pupil Premium:
