The Pupil Premium was introduced in 2011 and is allocated to schools to work with pupils who have been registered for Free School Meals (FSM) at any point in the last 6 years. The Government believes that the Pupil Premium is the best way to address the underlying inequalities between children eligible for FSM and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.
Pupil Premium Strategy 2018-19
Plesae note the Pupil Premium Strategy is reviewed on an annual basis after the results of the summer public examinations are known. We aim to publish an Impact Statement and an updated Strategy for the new academy year in the Autumn term following these results.
At Ernest Bevin College the Pupil Premium is used in many ways including:
- to support literacy by funding the position of a literacy coordinator;
- to pay for one to one tuition for targetted pupils
- to subsize the funding costs of the Learning Resource Centre
- to subsize the funding of additional teachers & Learning Support Assistants working with Foundation groups
- to help fund resources & trips for Pupil Premium children so that they can participate fully in all college activities
- to fund music lessons
- to fund extra curricular activities, clubs and some residential trips
