St Catherine Of Siena Catholic Primary School

Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium is funding provided to schools which is additional to main school funding. It is allocated according to the number of pupils on-roll who are eligible for free school meals (FSM), a smaller amount allocated according to the number of children of service families, and an allocation for each pupil who has been 'Looked After' (in care) for six months or more.

In 2012, funding was extended to include pupils who have been eligible for free school meals within the past six years.

It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility. However, schools are to be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding.

From September 2012, this information must be published on the school website. Please see below for information regarding how the pupils' premium was spent in the last financial year, the impact of this funding, and the plans for future spending.
