Pupil Premium
Whaplode Church Of England Primary School with a 1 form entry. Presently we have 193 pupils on role. These are split between 7 single age phase classes. The pupil premium funding for 2018/19 was based on 189 children on roll and 52 pupils attracting funding.
All members of staff, governors and teaching assistants accept responsibility for ‘socially disadvantaged’ pupils and are committed to meeting their pastoral, social and academic needs within the school environment.
Whaplode Church of England Primary School is committed to ‘Narrowing the Gap’ between vulnerable pupils and their peers. The pupil premium will form a vital part of that process. The governors reserve the right to allocate the pupil premium funding to support any pupils or groups of pupils the school has legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.
Provision will be made through:
- Supporting pupils’ access to education
- Supporting pupils’ access to the curriculum
- Alternative support and intervention where appropriate within the school environment
Reporting Pupil Premium
It is the responsibility of the governors to explain pupil premium expenditure to parents/carers in the form of an annual statement. There is no set format for the report of pupil premium. Whaplode Church of England Primary School will publish details of a report online annually.
This report aims to detail information on how Pupil Premium has been used within the School. This report will detail the attainment and progress of pupils at particular points in their primary education, who are covered by the premium and the intervention that has been supported by the additional funding.
Reports will also detail the progress made towards narrowing the gap and this will be supported by reported data and academic progress. Regular reports will be presented on the progress of pupils supported by Pupil Premium to the Governing Body at Whaplode C Of E Primary School.
Reporting to Parents
Parents/carers will be able to obtain information on the pupil premium via the school’s website. This will be updated annually.
Responsibility for reporting
The responsibility for the report will given to the Head Teacher and Senior Leadership team who will be asked to report on the intervention in place for key pupils and the impact that intervention has had.
