Pupil Premium is additional funding allocated to all schools in England to support disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.
This budget includes pupils who are currently entitled to free school meals, have been free school meals in the past six years (FSM ‘Ever Six’), children that are cared for or adopted from care and children whose parents are in the armed forces.
At Moat Farm Junior School we seek to ensure the effectiveness of our use of the Pupil Premium funding. We recognise that barriers to achievement take a variety of forms and therefore attempt to be innovative in the support that we provide. We evaluate all support that is given and carefully track learning to ensure progress is being made at all times. We evaluate our support throughout and make changes if we feel that it is necessary.
We offer our children a wide range of opportunities and ensure that these are accessible for everyone. We work with families and colleagues to make sure everyone has high aspirations for all pupils. We ensure Pupil Premium children are well represented and have a voice within our school.
