Pupil Premium

PUPIL PREMIUM In 2011/2012 the Government launched its Pupil Premium Funding. This funding was given to schools based on the number of pupils who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM). In 2012/2013 this funding was expanded to include all those children who have been eligible for FSM during the last 6 years. Funding is also available for children adopted from care and looked after children With effect from September 2014 all Reception and Key Stage 1 children became entitled to a free school meal without the necessity to complete any paperwork. Parents who are in receipt of the benefits that would have entitled them to a free school meal are encouraged to submit a claim to ensure that Carleton Green receives the Pupil Premium Funding thereby ensuring that their child reaches their full potential both emotionally, socially and educationally. Please contact the school office for further information.

In 2014/2015 Carleton Green received Pupil Premium Grant funding of £70,673 and in 2015/2016 this will be £66,420.

Schools are free to decide how to allocate this funding to best support our most vulnerable pupils.

We use the pupil premium in a variety of ways:           

IMPACT OF PUPIL PREMIUM     



Pupil tracking demonstrates that most pupils receiving intervention make at least good progress.

EYFS – 100% of our pupils who received Pupil Premium funding in EYFS have reached a Good Level of Development Key Stage One - 100% of pupils who received Pupil Premium Funding achieved a level Two in Reading, Maths and Science and 98% achieved a Level Two in Writing.

Key Stage Two – 100% of pupils who received Pupil Premium Funding achieved at least a Level 4 in Reading, Writing, Maths and Science. Every child eligible for PP made at least two levels of progress in all subjects.

The work that takes place in “The Nest” is carefully planned to significantly impact on the attainment of the pupils identified with the group size limited to a maximum of five. 100% are able to return to class and access their learning more effectively. “The Nest” has reduced the amount of pupil absence brought on by anxiety.

Attendance is above average and there has been a reduction in those children arriving late for school.
