Pupil Premium at Parkgate Junior

Pupil Premium is a payment made to schools by the Government. It makes up part of the school’s funding, is received into our budget and is made available for use throughout the whole school. Schools are free to decide how to allocate this funding to best support the raising of attainment for the most vulnerable pupils. The Pupil Premium is funded on a per pupil basis at £1455 per pupil (or £2530 for pupils who are in care or have been adopted). This will be based on the current census, meaning that Parkgate will receive £48 560. To make the best use of this funding, we use evidence-based approaches, such as the EFF research and our own knowledge of our pupils and the specific needs within each class to create a plan tailored to our school.
