Pupil Premium Report for the Academic Year 2013-2014

Funding for 2013-14

Pupil Premium is additional money given to school to support children who are entitled to free
school meals (or have been in the past 6 years), service children or looked after children.
The money is used to raise achievement for these children and it is up to our school how
money is allocated. The following information tells you how much funding we have received,
how we are using it and the impact it is having in closing the gap between pupil premium
children and their peers.
The impact of pupil premium is discussed regularly at pupil progress meetings and is tracked
on achievement days. School then has to report to the Governors, including how the money is
spent and what the impact is on achievement.
In the 2013 to 2014 academic year, Fagley Primary School received the following funding for
each child registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years:

September 2013 March 2014: 953 per pupil based on January 2013 census data
April 2014 August 2014: 1300 per pupil based on January 2014 census data (300
for service children)

During the academic year, 110 pupils were identified at school as eligible for the pupil
premium funding (107 FSM, 2 service children and 1 looked after child). This equates to
49.5% of our total pupils in Reception to Year 6.
Total amount received 103,771
How the funding was utilised?
In school, we put lots of support into classes to help all groups of children make the best
progress they can. For children that need an extra push and who qualify for the Pupil
Premium grant, school provides additional support from teachers, teaching assistants and our
Inclusion Manager.
Specialist external support is also paid for using the Pupil Premium grant. This additional
support is used to target children who have very specific needs or have a certain barrier to
learning.
