Wilbraham Primary SchoolPupil Premium
The information below outlines how we use the Pupil Premium money to support the learning of children in our school.
What is the Pupil Premium?
The Pupil Premium was introduced by the Government in April 2011. It was designed to give additional money to support schools in raising the attainment of children who receive Free School Meals, children whose parents/carers serve in the Armed Forces and those children in local authority care. These groups of children have been identified nationally as achieving at a lower level than children from less disadvantaged backgrounds.
Where does the money come from?
Pupil Premium is allocated to schools based on the number of children who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals, whose parents/carers serve in the Armed Forces and children who have been looked after in local authority care continuously for more than six months.
The purpose of the Pupil Premium is to help schools to provide targeted support for these groups of children.
"It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium, allocated to schools is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility".

Pupil Premium Funding
All our work through Pupil Premium will be aimed at raising attainment and accelerating progress moving pupils to at least age related expectations (ARE) in Reading, Writing and Maths. The Pupil Premium Grant funding that is received by the school annually is used in a variety of ways in order to improve pupil attainment and to help overcome any barriers to learning.
