Pupil Premium Strategy
The Pupil Premium is additional funding allocated to schools to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers. It is based on the number of pupils who have been eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) at any point over the last six years (known as ‘Ever 6 FSM) and also provides funding for children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months and the children of service personnel.
If you believe you may be eligible for Free School Meals but have not already registered this with us, please do so as soon as possible, because it can help the school to fund additional provision for your child.

Pupil Premium at Leighterton Primary School
At Leighterton, we regularly review progress and attainment for all children. Additional support is quickly put in place to support pupils who are underachieving, including the use of Pupil Premium Funding. Whilst the school recognises that children eligible for FSM statistically underachieve nationally, this is not always the case and the school will not automatically target Pupil Premium Funding equally towards all FSM pupils, as most achieve as well as their peers and some achieve higher. Additional support is therefore allocated accordingly through the school system for tracking and intervention.
