Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium funding is paid to schools at the rate of £1320 per child for children currently entitled to free school meals (of if they have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years) as well as for looked after children and pupils who have parents in the armed forces. It is paid directly to schools with the purpose of diminshing differences between disadvantage children and their peers. The government allows schools to decide for themselves how best to spend this money, based on the needs of the children in their school.

How do we spend Pupil Premium Funding?

At Wellesley Primary School, we work to ensure that all of our children have equal access to the very best education, in order that they reach their full potential - both academically and socially - something that is reflected in our school vision and values. Our main goal is diminshing the differences between the attainment of our disavantaged pupils and their peers. At Wellesley, we pride ourselves on knowing our children well; teachers use their knowledge of the children in the class in order to inform decisions about the Pupil Premium Funding is spent. We have a relatively small number of children entitled to Pupil Premium Funding, and each pupil is unique in their needs, therefore the best way to ensure their progress is to personalise the provision that is in place for them. Staff devise personalised programmes of support aimed at ensuring that the children in their class can overcome barriers to their learning, and have equal access to the education we provide. We take account of evidence based research when determining our interventions and strategy.
