How is Pupil Premium spent?

We can choose how to spend any Pupil Premium money, as we are best placed to identify what would be of most benefit to the children who are eligible. Common ways in which schools spend their Pupil Premium fund include;

• • Providing extra one-to-one or small-group support for children within the classroom
  • Employing extra teaching assistants to work with classes
  • Running catch-up sessions before or after school
  • Running a school breakfast club to improve attendance
  • Providing extra tuition for able children who receive the pupil premium
  • Providing music lessons for children whose families would be unable to pay for them
  • Funding educational trips and visits
  • Paying for additional help such as speech and language therapy or family therapy
  • Funding English classes for children who speak another language at home
  • Investing in resources that boost children’s learning, such as laptops or tablets.
