Please click on the document below to open full statement
As a school we receive a Pupil Premium Grant to provide extra support to children, which this academic year equates to £1480 per eligible child.
You can apply for PPG if you or your child receives any of the following:
At Maple Infants’ School we strive for all pupils to have the best outcomes possible. All children at our school have their attainment closely tracked and we work hard to identify and overcome any barriers to learning regardless of a child’s background. Teachers meet termly with the Senior Leadership Team to look at the individual needs of children eligible for pupil premium funding. Previous support is reviewed and the best route forward discussed. In addition to academic support children may be offered social or extra-curricular activities both within and outside the school setting. The school builds close relationships with families eligible for pupil premium to ensure the children engage fully in the chosen support and benefit fully from the opportunities open to them. Pupil premium is not allocated to individual children. It is not an individual entitlement but it is used to support the needs of our vulnerable pupils as a group.
The school has the responsibility for allocating the pupil premium funding to support pupils or groups of pupils. We are accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support our pupils and we are required to publish online information about how we have used the pupil premium, in order to ensure that parents and others are made fully aware of the attainment of pupils covered by the premium. Where funding is allocated to an intervention it may be that some groups have a mixture of pupils that are eligible or not eligible for pupil premium within in. You can find out more in our Pupil Premium Strategy document above, as well as our planned expenditure for 2024-25. The next review will be due by end of December 2025.
