Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.

The Trinity Catholic Primary School - Pupil Premium Information

Background

Pupil premium is allocated for:

• Children  of statutory school age from families who are known to be eligible for free school meals (FSM) in both mainstream and non mainstream settings.
• Children who have been looked after (CLA) continuously for more than six months.
• Children of Services parents; to include those whose parents have died in action, and those whose parents have left the Services since April 2011 for other reasons, including injury.

From September 2012 we were required to publish online information about how we have used the Premium. This was introduced to ensure that parents and others are made fully aware of the attainment of pupils covered by the Premium and the extra support they received. The funding allocation included pupils eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years, known as the Ever 6 FSM measure. Schools are free to spend Pupil Premium as they see fit. However, we will be accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support pupils in the categories listed.

Governing Body

The Governing Body are consulted regarding the proposed spending of the Pupil Premium and agree the programmes, activities and initiatives to be implemented to support the children entitled to this additional funding. It is important to note that other funding may be allocated from the school budget to support these activities.
