Pupil Premium Grant
Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011; it is additional funding allocated to schools to work with pupils who have been recorded as eligible for free school meals (FSM) or have been recorded as eligible in the past 6 years (FSM Ever 6). This includes eligible children of families who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF)
Previously looked-after children (PLAC): pupils who were looked after by a local authority or other state care immediately before being adopted, or who left local authority or other state care on a special guardianship order or child arrangements order (previously known as a residence order). From 1 April 2023, PP grant eligibility for pupils who have been adopted from care or have left care will include children adopted from state care or equivalent from outside England and Wales
Eligibility
Ever 6 free school meals children
For mainstream and special schools, the pupil premium for 2023 to 2024 will include pupils recorded in the October 2021 school census who have had a recorded period of FSM eligibility since January 2016, as well as those first recorded as eligible at October 2021.
Children with no recourse to public funds (NRPF)
For 2023 to 2024, pupil premium eligibility is being extended to pupils eligible for free school meals under the temporary extension set out in the coronavirus (covid-19): temporary extension of free school meals eligibility to NRPF groups guidance. As these pupils are not registered as eligible in the school census, eligible schools will need to make a claim for additional pupil premium funding for these pupils. Further details on the claims process for these pupils will be published in due course.
Children adopted from care or who have left care
For mainstream and special schools, the pupil premium for 2023 to 2024 will include pupils recorded in the October 2021 school census, who were looked after by an English or Welsh local authority immediately before being adopted, or who left local authority care on a special guardianship order or child arrangements order (previously known as a residence order). These are collectively referred to as post-LAC in these conditions of grant.
Ever 6 service child
For mainstream and special schools, the service premium for 2023 to 2024 will include pupils recorded in the October 2021 school census who have been eligible for the service child premium at any point since the January 2016 census as well as those recorded as a service child for the first time in the October 2021 school census.
At OLOV we are committed to ensuring that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all pupils, in particular those of vulnerable or socially disadvantaged pupils. The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is used to ensure that all PPG pupils (FSM children and looked after children) are supported in making progress. This progress is carefully and regularly tracked and there is an expectation that over the Key Stage, the majority of pupils will make a minimum of two levels of progress in English and Maths. We do this by relentlessly focusing on improving the quality of teaching and learning and additional adult support for these vulnerable groups of children. We aim to:
- To close the gap in attainment for PPG pupils in core subjects.
- To maintain high expectations and standards for pupils on PPG.
- To ensure that all pupils are given the same opportunities to develop their potential and participate in extra-curricular activities in and outside of school.
