Pupil Premium

Introduction

The Pupil Premium is additional funding delegated to schools according to the number of pupils who receive free school meals.

Pupil Premium provides funding for pupils:

  • Who have been in receipt of free school meals (FSM) at any point in the past 6 years,
  • Who have been continuously looked after for the past six months,
  • Who are adopted from care under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 or who have left care under a Special Guardianship or Residence Order,
  • For children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces, or whose parent/guardian is in receipt of a pension from the MoD.

Schools are held accountable for the spending of these monies in regard to eligible pupils and their progress and achievement.

Pupil Premium funding is used to provide extra resources to support pupils through individual intervention and small group support work. It is also used to fund additional teacher and teaching assistant salary costs, enrichment activities and counselling services.

Tenacres is committed to providing effective resources, enrichment opportunities and ensuring vital support is in place for these pupils to improve their academic outcomes. We aim to achieve this through key objectives as detailed below.
