Pupil Premium Funding
The Pupil Premium is additional government funding given to schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged students and close the achievement gap between them and their peers.
Who is eligible?
Funding is allocated for pupils who:
- Are currently entitled to Free School Meals (FSM) or have been in receipt of FSM in the last six years (Ever 6)
- Are Looked After Children (in the care of the local authority)
- Have parents who are serving in the armed forces
Our Commitment
At Marston Vale Middle, we firmly believe that all pupils, regardless of their background, should have equal access to a rich and challenging curriculum.
We recognise the Pupil Premium as an essential component of our school funding, enabling us to strategically develop and deliver targeted support that ensures our students receive a complete educational experience and achieve their full potential.
Schools are best placed to decide how this funding is spent and we carefully assess the needs of our students to determine the most effective provision. Support may be provided through individual interventions, small group work or by resourcing specific curriculum areas.
