PUPIL PREMIUM AT

CORPUS CHRISTI PRIMARY SCHOOL 

Pupil Premium is a grant allocated to schools to support socially disadvantaged pupils.  It is not an individual entitlement and is not allocated to individual students.

Our aim in spending the Pupil Premium Grant is to accelerate academic progress, to bring children to at least age-related expectations and to enhance children’s life experiences.

The school has the responsibility for allocating the Pupil Premium funding to support pupils or groups of pupils who are legitimately identified as being socially disadvantaged.  We decided how the money is best allocated in order to meet the needs of the greatest number of disadvantaged pupils.

At Corpus Christi Primary School the funding is allocated to ensure that children in this group are supported to reach their full potential academically, personally and socially.  We look at the needs of individual pupils in these areas, and allocate the funding accordingly.  So, for example, funding may be provided for an extra – curricular club that will allow a pupil to have the same experiences as his or her peers, and thus raise their self – esteem.

Where funding is allocated to such an intervention it may be that some groups of pupils that benefit have a mixture of pupils entitled to Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) and those that do not.  In this way, the benefits of PPG can extend beyond those pupils who were originally targeted.

It’s important for all parents / carers to check to see if they are entitled.

As this money could have a huge impact on a child’s first steps of their journey through education.
