Pupil Premium and Pupil Premium+ Funding
Aspirations, Allocation and Impact for 2016-2018
Pupil Premium Funding was introduced in 2011 to improve outcomes for disadvantaged learners, and to close the attainment gap between them and their peers.
In 2013, the DfE introduced pupil premium plus funding for looked after and previously looked after children. This was in recognition of the part schools played in supporting children who have had a difficult start in life.
Pupil premium funding is allocated to support children from the following groups:
The Pupil Premium Lead at Meridian is The Headteacher. A Higher Level Teaching Assistant acts as the Pupil Premium Champion.
The allocation and monitoring of Pupil Premium Funding is the responsibility of the Headteacher and the Inclusion link Governor.
At Meridian Primary, the Pupil Premium Funding facilitates access to the curriculum, provide additional teaching and learning opportunities and additional support and intervention. Our aim is to support children’s social and emotional well-being; and improve their progress and attainment in English and maths so that we narrow the gap between disadvantaged children and their peers.
