Pupil Premium
Objectives
The pupil premium is a grant given by the government to schools in England to decrease the attainment gap for the most disadvantaged children, whether by income or by family upheaval. For each pupil who is eligible for free school meals, their school receives £1,515 (if a primary school) or £1075 (if a secondary school). Pupils previously or currently looked after by a local authority or other state care, the school receives £2630.
Our intent at All Saints’ is to enrich the lives of all our students, irrelevant of student background or prior attainment. We aim to raise the achievement of all our learners, as well as ensuring that we close the gap between our student groups. At All Saints, we must ensure that most of the needs of our Pupil premium students are increasingly met through high quality universal provision.
Our model to achieve success with these students is to follow 3 Key Principles, as explained by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) – Education Endowment Foundation | EEF
The EEF Guide to the Pupil Premium | Education Endowment Foundation
The EEF suggest a tiered approach to pupil premium spending, which is how are funding is allocated.
-
- Teaching
- Targeted academic support
- Wider strategies
Our current pupil premium strategy plan works towards achieving the above objectives using a ‘five point plan to sustain an effective Pupil Premium strategy’.
- Diagnosing our pupils needs
- Using strong evidence to support our strategy
- Developing our strategy
- Deliver and monitor our strategy
- Evaluating and sustaining our strategy.
As we diagnose our pupils needs, we ensure each challenge (page 5) has been specifically considered through use of research documents which encapsulate the national picture and school quality assurance process such as data analysis, student voice, work scrutiny, learning walks and liaison with parents. The results from research and data, have guided each intended outcome.
2024-2025 results:
For progress – The progress for students does display a gap between PP and Non-PP students, the figures linked to the progress 8 score are similar to the results from 2023-2024 and 2022-2023. A gap in achievement is evident between the PP and Non-PP students. However, the school PPG v National other is a positive figure in comparison to the last 2 academic year.
The attainment data, when considering School PPG vs National Other (Grade 4) is close to the target, with a reduced figure in comparison to 2023-2024 data. Overall highlighting that a gap does exist between PP and Non-PP student’ but gain have been made within the grade 4 for English and Maths data.
