Pupil Premium is an allocation of funding that is given to us by the government to support children who may be vulnerable to under-achievement. The amount we receive is based on the number of children that we have who are entitled to Free School Meals (FSM). We receive the equivalent of £1320 for every child who is currently in receipt of Free School Meals plus some additional funding that is based on the number of children who have had Free School Meals in the past 6 years but are no longer eligible, this is known as Ever6. As a school, we have a responsibility to report on the progress of children receiving pupil premium; demonstrate how we are using the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) and the impact that it is having on children from disadvantaged backgrounds.
To ensure that children from disadvantaged backgrounds are able to make the same progress as, or better progress, than their peers.
In the academic year 2018/19 our Pupil Premium Funding will be approximately £28,620
At Archbishop Cranmer, we organise teaching and learning in order to best meet the needs of all our children.
We arrange appropriate provision for children from vulnerable groups and for those who may be socially disadvantaged, to ensure that their needs are accurately assessed and met. We aim to support children and families with the social, emotional and behavioural aspects of learning, and to overcome identified barriers to educational achievement such as gaps in non-negotiables and poor retention of curriculum knowledge and skills.
Main Barriers to Educational Achievement at Archbishop Cranmer
At Archbishop Cranmer CE Academy the PPG has been used to fund a range of interventions, resources and initiatives:
The impact of this is measured through pupil progress meetings, questionnaire feedback, progress and attainment monitoring and end of Key Stage results. Alongside this, class teachers monitor pupil’s individual spending using PPG deployment of funding logs which are used to measure impact of spending.
Outcomes to date

The Pupil Premium Strategy will be reviewed in September 2019.
Parents can check eligibility for free school meals through Nottinghamshire County Council's website - https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/education/school-meals/free-school-meals-and-milk and, if eligible, also gain welcome additional funding for their child’s school, known as ‘Pupil Premium’. If eligible, you are not obliged to accept the free school meals for your child if you wish to make other arrangements, but we do want to encourage applications as the additional funding gained would still benefit education provision at the school.
After entering essential details into the website, the online application process links to the Department for Education system for checking eligibility and gives an immediate ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response, and will notify the school.
This system is being provided to encourage parents to apply and take advantage of free school meals while at the same time increasing the benefit to schools from Pupil Premium funding, a substantial amount of which does not reach schools because not all parents who are eligible apply for free meals for their child.
As the government has introduced free school meals for all children in Key Stage 1, it is more important than ever for schools to know the number of pupils for whom they can claim Pupil Premium funding. These funds enable schools to take on additional staff and invest in additional equipment, resources and activities to the benefit all children.
