Woolston Community Primary School

Since 2011-12, schools have been allocated ‘Pupil Premium Funding’. The terms of the grant are very broad and merely state:

‘The grant may be spent by maintained schools for the purposes of the school; that is to say for the educational benefit of pupils registered at that school, or for the; benefit of pupils registered at other maintained schools; and on community facilities, for example services whose provision furthers any charitable purpose for the benefit of pupils at the school or their families, or people who live or work in the locality in which the school is situated’.

The grant is allocated in the following ways:

• Pupils who are eligible for free school meals (FSM), or have been eligible in any  past six years (£1480 per pupil) 
• Pupils who have been adopted from care: £2570 per pupil
• Children who are looked after by the local authority: £2570 per pupil

From September 2012, the Department for Education (DfE) has required schools to publish information about how they plan to use the Pupil Premium grant. The report below details our school’s plan for 2024 - 2027 along with our most recent review for 2023 -2024.
