Background
Pupil premium funding is allocated in local authority maintained and non-maintained schools to children from low income families who are known to be eligible for free school meals (FSM); children who have been eligible for free school meals anytime in the last six years (called Ever6 FSM); those children in local authority care and children whose parents are serving in the armed forces.
Schools are able to consider how they will spend the Pupil Premium funding, with that focus on narrowing and ultimately closing the achievement gap. Schools are held accountable as to how the funding has been spent and the impact the funding has had.
Barriers to educational achievement faced by eligible pupils
As a school we work to address barriers to learning for pupils.These can include:
To ensure transparency, Gomersal Primary School publishes information online as to how the Pupil Premium funding has been spent and the impact of the previous year’s funding.
The school's Pupil Premium Funding plans are fully audited by the Governors.
