In 2011 the Government announced the introduction of Pupil Premium funding to support policies directed at disadvantaged pupils. This additional funding is provided to:
- Raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap with their peers.
- Support children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces.
For the academic year 2023-24 the grants received per pupil are as follows:
| Pupil Eligibility Criteria | Amount of funding for each secondary-aged pupil per year |
|---|---|
| Pupils in years 7 to 11 recorded FSM, Ever 6, including eligible NRPF pupils | £1,035 |
| Looked After Children (LAC) | £2,530 |
| Previously Looked After Children (PLAC) | £2,530 |
| Eligible Service Children in year groups Reception to Year 11 | £335 |
At Prenton High School for Girls we aim to raise the attainment, progress and aspirations of disadvantaged students by providing:
- High quality personalised teaching and learning that meets the needs of all students, including Pupil Premium students
- Personalised intervention for students who need additional support in identified areas
- A wide range of enrichment opportunities that enable Pupil Premium students to take part in different activities they may not have had the chance to experience before.
