Pupil Premium Statement 2013/14

Abbeymead Primary School is a large primary school, situated on the outskirts of Gloucester City, in Gloucestershire. In January 2013, 421 children were on role.

At Abbeymead, we believe that children are entitled to a Primary education that offers quality, breadth of experience, standard of excellence and a sense of community.

As of January 2014, approximately 17% of children were eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant.

Approximately	Type of child	Allocated funding per child
9%	Free School Meals (FSM)	£900
5%	Free school meals in one or more of the previous 6 years (Ever 6).	£900
2%	Child Looked After (LAC)	£900
2%	Service Child (E3/SER)	£300

Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011, and paid by means of a specific grant based on school census figures for pupils registered as eligible for FSM in reception to Year 11. This category now includes any child that has been registered for FSM in the past 6 years (known as “Ever 6 FSM”).

For looked after children the Pupil Premium is calculated using the Children Looked After data returns (SSDA903).

A premium has also been introduced for children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces. This service premium is designed to address the emotional and social well-being of these pupils.

The Pupil Premium is additional to main school funding and it has been used by this school to address any underlying inequalities between children eligible by ensuring that funding reaches the pupils who need it most.

In the financial year 2013-2014 we received £64,202 of Pupil Premium funding, a full breakdown of our Actual Expenditure for 2013-2014 has been included in the Expenditure table below.

In the financial year 2014-2015 we anticipate receiving approximately £84,000, our proposed expenditure for 2014-2015 has been published on our website.

The DfE has given us the freedom to use the Pupil premium as we see fit, based upon our knowledge of our pupil needs. “It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium, allocated to schools per FSM pupil, is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.”

However, we are accountable for the use of this additional funding.

Objectives

The Pupil Premium has been used to provide additional educational support to improve the progress and to raise the standard of achievement for these pupils.

The funding has been used to narrow and close the gap between the achievement of these pupils and their peers.

As far as its powers allow, the school has used the additional funding to address any underlying inequalities between children eligible for Pupil Premium and others.

We have ensured that the additional funding has reached the pupils who need it most and that it has made a significant impact on their education and lives.

We are aware that under The School Information (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2012, Schedule 4, there is specified information which has to be published on our school’s website. Section 9 of this regulation requires schools to publish “The amount of the school’s allocation from the Pupil Premium grant in respect of the current academic year; details of how it is intended that the allocation will be spent; details of how the previous academic year’s allocation was spent, and the effect of this expenditure on the educational attainment of those pupils at the school in respect of whom grant funding was allocated”.
