Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium is an additional amount of money given to schools, on top of their main budget. Every school receives a fixed amount of money per pupil for all pupils meeting certain criteria. The main criterion is eligibility for free school meals at any given point within the last 6 years or those children who have been cared for by the Local Authority for at least 6 months. The money is provided to schools so that we can raise attainment and progress for this group of pupils.
The main aims of the pupil premium are to:
- Increase social mobility
- Enable more pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to access the best education
- Reduce the attainment gap between the highest and lowest achieving pupils
Pupil Premium 2020-21
The pupil premium allocation is £1345 per pupil. This year the total allocation for Morningside Primary School will be £278,415. We plan to spend the money in the following ways to target the eligible pupils:
Pupil welfare:
- Additional support from the NHS Speech and Language service to support early language development
- Rewards for excellent attendance and punctuality
- Funding a post for a Pastoral Manager to lead on pupil welfare
- A member of staff to support transition
- Extended places at Breakfast Club and after school clubs that are subsidised for those children in receipt of Pupil Premium
Raising Standards
- Professional development: releasing teachers to work with colleagues across the federation to raise standards
- Additional intervention teachers to boost levels and provide small group catch up sessions
- Additional Teaching Assistant in Early Years/KS1 to support early reading and phonics
- Training programme for teaching assistants with focus on early language development and oracy
Enrichment
- Project-based family learning to excite, motivate and improve outcomes for pupils
- Homework and extended day activities provided free of charge to targeted pupils
