Pupil Premium

 

We aim to break down any barriers students may have to learning and achievement.  We want all young people at Wombourne High School to succeed.

​

What is Pupil Premium Funding?

 

Pupil Premium funding is allocated by The Secretary of State for Education in the form of the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG). The PPG provides funding for two policies:

• Raising the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities to reach their potential.

• Supporting children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces.

 

 

Pupil Premium provides funding for pupils in the following categories:

​

• Those who have been in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM) at any point in the past 6 years.

• Those who have been continuously looked after for the past six months.

• Those who are adopted from care under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 or who have left care under a Special Guardianship or Residence Order (Post LAC).

• Those children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces or were eligible for funding in the last 4 years (Ever 4 Service Child).

Pupil Premium Aim:

 

Pupil Premium Funding is used to ensure that Wombourne High School:

• Narrows the gap between the performance of Pupil Premium students and their peers within school and nationally.

• Develops a detailed understanding of the needs of its Pupil Premium students and the strategies needed to meet these needs

• Provides a range of programmes, initiatives and strategies which will be reviewed annually to ensure impact and value for money.

• Uses its Pupil Premium funding to raise standards of achievement for eligible students and monitors the impact of these on their progress

Pupil Premium Priorities 

 

Further refine and implement PP strategies to break down barriers and ensure PP students achieve in line with their non-PP peers

 

• Continue to implement and refine whole school PP strategies (For example seating, resources, mentoring, live marking)

• Use the whole MAT strategies that are effective in raising PP attainment through shared good practice. Working in parties and shared initiatives.
