Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium is additional funding that is given to schools to address the inequalities between children currently eligible for free school meals (or who have been in the last 6 years) and their peers.

Aim

To use the Pupil Premium funding to raise educational attainment and progress of Pupil Premium pupils to help them to reach their potential.

Approach

The Pupil Premium strategy outlines our approach to spending the Pupil Premium funding effectively.

Strategies

If your child is eligible for Pupil Premium funding, details below outline how we aim to support them throughout their time at Ashby School.

1. The Pupil Premium funding will be used to ensure your child is receiving quality first teaching. Subject interventions may also be provided if deemed appropriate.
2. Students can also access pastoral support where needed which may include small group work, mentoring and workshops.
3. If you require any support in purchasing uniform, stationery or other items that your child requires for Ashby School please contact us to discuss how we can assist.

Pupil Premium Funding can be used to support curriculum related trips. The amount of support for trips will be decided on a case by case basis.

Monitoring and Evaluation

The Pupil Premium strategy is constructed and shared with governors at the start of the academic year. Strategies are monitored by the senior leader responsible for Pupil Premium and allocated governor throughout the course of the academic year.

Service Child Pupil Premium

If your child is in receipt of the service child pupil premium, this funding is used primarily to support your child pastorally, if needed, in the case of deployment. Please do share information with us regarding deployment to ensure we are able to assist our students appropriately.
