Pupil Premium 

In 2011-12, the Government launched its Pupil Premium funding programme – the amount of Pupil Premium funding received by schools is determined by the number of pupils attending the school who are eligible for Free School Meals. From 2012-13, this was expanded to include the number of children who have been eligible for Free School Meals within the last six years.

Pupil Premium funding is used by St Peter’s CE Primary School in a number of ways in order to help improve pupil attainment and to help overcome any identified barriers to learning.  For the academic year 2019/2020 we anticipate a sum of £35640. 

As a school we have prioritised in class support as we recognise that this can have the biggest impact upon pupil progress.  We are therefore continuing with our policy of allocating funding to enable every class to have a full time Teaching Assistant, who will work closely alongside the class teacher in order to provide additional support within the classroom setting.  Additionally, we are also using some of our funding to run English and Mathematics intervention and extension groups; to embed or extend the work completed in class, providing additional targeted support which will ensure that pupils of all abilities achieve their potential.

At St Peter’s we are committed to providing our pupils with an enriched and engaging curriculum and therefore plan to allocate some of our funding to providing enrichment opportunities for the entire school such as drama and dance workshops, educational visits and weeks dedicated to specific curriculum areas which help to motivate and inspire children and foster a love of learning.  Additionally, with our extra-curricular provision this year, we have subsidised the cost of clubs to ensure that they are accessible to all pupils, as these help to promote health and well-being and also provide pupils with the opportunity to acquire new skills such as sewing, Italian, Latin and computer programming.  Furthermore, this year, in addition to employing a Well-Being Coach, who will support targeted children throughout the school with their mental health well-being; we have also engaged the services of the Christian organisation Kick London through which we will be able to offer some of our vulnerable pupils solution based mentoring sessions. 

Please see below our latest Pupil Premium report which details the funding received in 2018/19, how it was allocated and the impact which it made.

If your child does not have Free School Meals, but may be eligible because of your family’s income level please see the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham website for eligibility criteria, alternatively please contact the Headteacher in the strictest confidence. Even if you choose not to make use of the Free School Meals, the school can still claim Pupil Premium funding that may be used to help your child.
