At St Michael's Church Of England Primary School we support all of our pupils. We do this by providing high quality classroom teaching, supplemented by interventions to support vulnerable learners as and when required. The School leadership Team and Governing Body monitor the impact of all spending and interventions, including Pupil Premium. We endeavour to encourage parents and carers to apply for free school meals where pride, stigma or changing circumstances act as barriers to its take up.
Key Facts
The Pupil Premium is additional funding provided by the Government to improve outcomes for disadvantaged pupils.
Schools receive Pupil Premium funding for pupils who are currently eligible for Targeted Free School Meals (FSM), those who have been eligible at any point in the previous six years (Ever 6 FSM), and children who have been adopted from care or who have left local authority care through a Special Guardianship Order, Child Arrangements Order or Residence Order
Additional funding is also provided through the Service Pupil Premium for children from service families, recognising the unique challenges they may experience.
Further information about how we use Pupil Premium funding can be found in our Pupil Premium Strategy Statement below - it includes how much money we are allocated, how we have spent the money so far and then the impact of this spending. It also includes all future plans for spending the money this academic year and up to 2027 - it is now a three year strategy looking at challenges we face as a school. It will be reviewed again in December 2026 and we will look to set a new strategy taking the successes and learning forward.
