Pupil Premium Report 2019-2020

Introduction

The Pupil Premium grant is designed to close any potential education attainment gap between children considered disadvantaged, in receipt of free school meals (or has been in the last six years) and looked after and adopted children and all other children. Schools decide on how they spend the PPG in a way that they feel will best support the raising of attainment and achievement of these children.

In 2019-2020, each child in receipt of free school meals (FSM) are allocated £1320 and looked after children (LAC) or adopted children £2300.

At Southover, we invest in Quality First Teaching and time-limited, specific intervention to endeavor to close the attainment gap. We also use our PPG to try to overcome any barriers to learning such as social, emotional and mental health needs (anxiety, low self-esteem, low-confidence). We also strive to ensure that no child misses out on extra-curricular opportunities because of their economic circumstances.

If your child does not have free school meals, but may be eligible because of your family’s income level, please contact the school office, in confidence, to register. Even if you do not take up the meals, the school will still secure the funding.
