What is the Pupil Premium?

The Pupil Premium is additional funding allocated to PP Awards 2016   Secondary schools with published KS4 results V1publicly funded schools in England on behalf of students who are considered, for one of a range of social, emotional or financial reasons, to be disadvantaged. The funding is designed to help schools ensure they raise the attainment of these students, and ensure that disadvantaged students are able to progress as well as students who are not.

The table below indicates the funding allocated by the Department for Education for the academic year 2023-24:

 

Nb table below includes updated allocation for 2023-2024

Disadvantage Factor Allocation

Students in Y7-11 recorded as having had Free School Meals at any point in the last 6 years.

£1035

Children Looked After by Local Authority Care.

£2530

Children in ‘post-Local Authority’ care, including those who have been Adopted from Care.

£2530

Students in Y7-11 recorded as having been the child who has had a parent in the Armed Forces in the last 5 years.

It is important to note that Pupil Premium funding is not intended to be an individual ‘account’ per student. Rather, schools take an overview of their whole Pupil Premium budget, and the needs of all Pupil Premium students, then direct key strategies to help raise progress and attainment levels amongst Pupil Premium students. It is only by using the money as one budget that high cost support, e.g. staffing for one-to-one/ small group tuition can be funded.


Pupil Premium 2023-2024

The Pupil Premium budget for St. Clement Danes School in 2023-24 is forecast to be £72,603 which includes a Covid Recovery Premium of £15,284.

The table below explains the outcomes aimed for by the end of our current strategy plan (2022-2023 to 2024-2025), and how we will measure whether they have been achieved.
