Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium is additional government funding for pupils who are either looked after children or perceived to come from disadvantaged backgrounds and therefore qualify for Free School Meals. This funding is then used to boost the learning of pupils so that the gap between learners is narrowed and all pupils are then able to reach their full potential.
At Stepping Stones School we aim to narrow the attainment gap between pupils so that they can achieve their full potential, particularly in English and Mathematics as well as improve access to accreditation and sustained access to a learning environment. Pupil Premium is also used to help pupils fully participate in chosen or enrichment activities and receive the additional support which they require.
Some Pupil Premium funding has been spent on one to one sessions for individual pupils to boost their attainment. This method is an effective way to improve attainment of our most disadvantaged pupils. Pupils who received Pupil Premium funding will have benefited from the following additional provisions:
• Numeracy 1-1 tutoring
• Literacy 1-1 tutoring
• Nurture and attachment support
• Access to specialist resources
• IPads or Tablets to promote independent study
• Curriculum enrichment trips
All of our Key Stage 4 pupils who received Pupil Premium funding achieved very good levels of progress which exceeded expectations.
