Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium funding is additional funding given to schools to support pupils who are eligible. There are a variety of reasons why your child may be entitled to this funding:

• If they are on Free School Meals or have been at any point in the last 6 years.

• If they are a Looked After Child (in the care of the Local Authority).

• If they have previously been a Looked After Child and are now adopted from care or are under a Special Guardianship Order or a Child Arrangements Order or a Residence Order.

• If they have a parent in the military or has been in the military over the past 5 years or are in receipt of a child pension from the Ministry of Defence.

We use evidence-based approaches (including recommendations for the Education Endowment Foundation) to support children entitled to this funding as well as strategies and resources we have reviewed and evaluated within school as being effective for our children. Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium funding and how we allocate this.

At St Stephen's, the Pupil Premium Lead is Miss Greenhalgh. 

When spending the Pupil Premium allocation, there are three key areas to address: Improving teaching for all, targeted academic support and wider strategies to improve outcomes.
