The targeted and specific use of our Pupil Premium will help us in achieving our vision of the highest aspirations for all of our children. At St Patrick’s we want to support all children who are disadvantaged or underachieving. We recognise that not all children receiving free school meals (FSM) are disadvantaged or underachieving and that some children who are disadvantaged or underachieving are not having FSM.
What is Pupil Premium?
The Pupil Premium Grant is additional funding to help schools close the attainment gap between pupils from low-income and other disadvantaged families, and their peers. If a pupil has been eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) at any point over the past 6 years the school receives or has been looked after for one day or more (Child Looked After), the school receives an amount per head within their budget. A provision is also made for pupils who have a parent in the armed services.
