Pupil Premium Report to Parents
What is the Pupil Premium
Introduced in 2011, the pupil premium is a sum of money given to schools each year by the Government to improve the attainment of disadvantaged children. It is a grant paid to schools based on school census figures for pupils registered as eligible for free school meals in reception to Year 6. For looked after children the Pupil Premium was calculated using the Children Looked After data returns (SSDA903).
The Pupil Premium is additional to main school funding and it will be used by this school to address any underlying inequalities between children eligible by ensuring that funding reaches the pupils who need it most.
How we use the funding - Objectives
At Wolfson Hillel, our main objective in using the Pupil Premium funding, is to close gaps in attainment and to support children's well being by giving them opportunities to develop other skills. As a school, we consistently track all pupils to identify any potential areas of need in order to provide targeted support and interventions to eliminate barriers to learning and progress.
Below is some of the ways in which we have supported children through Pupil Premium finding:
- The use of our three teacher model to provide children with a smaller and more targeted learning enviroment in order to close gaps.
- Extra one-to-one or small-group support for children within the classroom.
- Running catch-up sessions before or after school, for example for children who need extra help with maths or literacy.
- Providing music lessons for children whose families would be unable to pay for them.
- Funding educational trips and visits.
- Paying for additional help such as speech and language therapy or family therapy.
- Paying for the enrichment program.
- Investing in resources that boost children’s learning, such as laptops or tablets.
Accountability
The Headteacher and Leadership Team will regularly and rigorously monitor, evaluate and review the strategies we have put into place for Pupil Premium and report to the governing body on its progress and impact
