Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium Grant, which is additional to main school funding, is provided to schools to address the current underlying inequalities and close the attainment gap between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers. Pupils are eligible for this funding if they have been registered for FSM at any point in the last 6 years; they are looked after (in care) or are children of service personnel.
The rate of pupil premium funding is £1345 per eligible student per year. Funding is based on the number of eligible students at the time of the January census, rather than the number on roll during the academic year.
The following is a summary of Beechwood Primary School’s planned programme for the 2020-2023 academic years of additional targeted interventions to support our most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups of students. This programme is constantly being reviewed and adapted in response to the emerging needs and required support of students.
