Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium Support
 
The pupil premium is a Government initiative that targets extra money at pupils from deprived backgrounds, which research shows, underachieve compared to their non-deprived peers. The premium is provided in order to support these pupils in reaching their potential.
 
At Grampound with Creed School, our Pupil Premium funding is used to provide a level playing field of opportunity to enable all our children to access a fulfilling and empowering education, which will set them up for a successful future. This includes supporting children emotionally, where needed. We provide support in a variety of ways including first quality teaching, small group academic input as well as our whole school approach to children's wellbeing and Trauma Informed School led interventions, which contribute to ensure emotional and relational health for all.

We offer support to Pupil Premium families for uniform, school trips, visits, swimming lessons and residential excursions to help eliminate financial barriers and allow equal opportunity for all our children to participate. Grampound with Creed School offers Pupil Premium children, that wish to drink it, free milk, provided through our supplier Cool Milk. This is to ensure that all children are able to access a healthy, nutritional drink during the school day. In addition, we support our Pupil Premium children to attend Breakfast Club, where they are provided with a healthy, nutritious breakfast for a good start to the day, along with the social and emotional experiences this creates. We also support attendance at our After School Club where healthy snacks, play, arts and crafts and outdoor activities are provided as well as the opportunity to read to an adult and complete homework tasks if needed.

 

Schools have a duty to employ the strategies that they know will support their pupils to increase their attainment, and ‘narrow the gap’ and we are therefore accountable for the spending of this money. Please follow the links below for our Pupil Premium Policy and spending reports to see how the research outlined in the EEF has informed our provision and spending.
