Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium
BACKGROUND
The Pupil Premium is allocated to children from low income families who are currently known to be eligible for free school meals (FSM) in both mainstream and non-mainstream settings, children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months, and children from Services families. This also includes any pupils eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years.
Schools are free to spend their Pupil Premium as they see fit, however, we will be held to account for how we have used the additional funding to narrow the gap for these targeted pupils. We are required to publish online how we have used the premium. This is to ensure that parents and other stakeholders are made fully aware of the impact of this additional resourcing on learning and achievement outcomes within our school.
Pupil Premium Strategy 2021-2022
This statement details our school’s use of pupil premium (and recovery premium for the 2021 to 2022 academic year) funding to help improve the attainment of our disadvantaged pupils.
It outlines our pupil premium strategy, how we intend to spend the funding in this academic year and the effect that last year’s spending of pupil premium had within our school.

Part A: Pupil Premium Strategy Plan
Statement of Intent
At Eglinton Primary School our disadvantaged pupils make up nearly 50% of our school community. Each and every one of them is valued and we are committed to removing any barriers to ensure they reach their full potential now and in their future. We are committed to ensuring each pupil leave as confident reader, being able to read fluently and aware of a wide range of authors and text. As writers, they will be able to engage readers and understand the importance of the purpose of their writing as well as the audience. They will make links across the curriculum and build on previous knowledge to gain a deeper understanding of a range of concepts. They will be passionate about their learning and be able to discuss this confidently. |
Challenges
This details the key challenges to achievement that we have identified among our disadvantaged pupils.
Challenge Number | Detail of Challenge |
1 | Engagement during lockdown varied and as a result gap in learning prevent disadvantage children working at age related expectations. |
2 | Disadvantaged children joining our EYFS do so with lower than typical starting points. |
3 | Children’s engagement in lessons is low preventing children from gaining a deeper understanding of key concepts and build links across the curriculum. |
4 | Some disadvantaged children have multiple barriers to learning including SEN/LAC/CIN/CP/SEMH. |
5 | Regular attendance in school is a challenge for a % of our disadvantaged pupils. PA to drop below 8.5% for the academic year 2021/22 |
Intended Outcomes
This explains the outcomes we are aiming for by the end of our current strategy plan, and how we will measure whether they have been achieved.
Intended Criteria | Success Criteria |
Teachers will have a clear understanding of assessment and plan effectively to narrow any gaps. |
|
Children will engage in all aspects of learning with high levels of motivation and lead their own learning across the curriculum. |
|
For all disadvantaged children to attend school regularly and on time. PA below 8.5% for the year. |
|
Reduce the gaps of local social economic gaps. |
- Disadvantaged children to be prioritised for school based after school clubs. - All disadvantaged children will attend school trips to widen their experiences. - 40% of leadership roles across the school to be represented by disadvantaged children. |
