Bream C of E Primary School Pupil Premium Statement 2014-15
The government introduced the Pupil Premium Grant in April 2011. This funding has been
allocated to pupils who are looked after by the Local Authority, those who have been eligible for
Free School Meals at any point in the last six years and for children whose parents are currently
serving in the armed forces. The level of premium for 2013-14 was £900 per primary pupil, and is
rising to £1300 per pupil in 2014-15.
From April 2014, children who are ‘looked after’ will attract a higher rate of funding that children
from low-income families – the ‘Pupil Premium Plus’, which will be £1900 per pupil. This is to
reflect the unique challenges ‘looked after’ pupils face where they can often struggle to keep up
with their peers at both primary and secondary level.
Pupils who have parents in the armed forces are supported through the Service Child Premium
which for 2014-15 will be set at £300 per pupil.
The Pupil Premium Grant is seen by the government as the best way to address the current
underlying inequalities between children from more deprived backgrounds and their wealthier
peers, to ensure that they do not fall behind their peers academically.
The ultimate aim is to close the attainment gap between pupils from different backgrounds.
Our grant for 2013-14 was £42,179 and for this academic year £43,450.
At Bream C of E Primary School we:
Believe in Quality First Teaching for all pupils so that good progress is made by all.
Ensure that appropriate provision is made for all pupils including vulnerable groups and that pupils
have their needs adequately assessed and met.
Provision at Bream C of E Primary School
This year the Pupil Premium Grant of £42,179 has been used to provide a Teaching Assistant in
every class for reading, writing and maths. This enables the class teacher to have more time to
work with pupils either individually or in small groups.
TAs also assist with 1:1 precision teaching, delivering enrichment programmes and providing Key
Worker support for pupils with social and emotional issues
