Pupil Premium Funding At Southgate School
Pupil Premium Strategy 2024-25
The aim of Pupil Premium is to raise the attainment of eligible pupils, close identified gaps in areas between these pupils and pupils not eligible for Pupil Premium, and help these pupils to make progress which is at least as good as other pupils.
The estimated budget is based on the data from government for our pupils with Pupil Premium at the time of the census in October last year. This is for the year April 2024 to March 2025. We receive it when our budget is allocated in April.
From this data, a total of 101 pupils on roll at Southgate School are eligible for a Pupil Premium. 92 pupils are classed as receiving Deprivation Pupil Premium (£1,480 for Years 1-6 and £1,050 for years 7-11).11 pupils are classed as receiving Adopted From Care Premium (£2,570).
7 pupils are classed as Looked After Pupil Premium (this is the money we get via virtual schools).Some pupils come under more than one heading but we only receive the one premium for them.
The EEF states ‘The Pupil Premium provides an important focus for prioritising the achievement of children from disadvantaged backgrounds in our education system. When it is most effective, the Pupil Premium will sit at the heart of a whole school effort, with all staff understanding the strategy and their role within it.’ This is what we strive to achieve at Southgate School.
