Varna Community Primary SchoolPupil Premium
''The support teachers in our school, provide us with extra learning and are very helpful. I like that we can meet new people and make lots of new friends.''.
The pupil premium is an amount of money allocated to schools by the government and is based on the number of children in a school having free school meals. The aim of the pupil premium is to raise achievement among disadvantaged children in the school.
The Pupil Premium provides funding for pupils:
- Who have been in receipt of free school meals (FSM) at any point in the past 6 years (£1455 per child)
- Pupils previously looked after by a local authority or other state care (£2530 per child)
- Children who are looked after by the local authority (£2530 per child)
- For children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces (£335 per child)
For the financial year 2022-2023, we will receive £271,460 for pupil premium
For the financial year 2023-2024, we will receive £286,635 for pupil premium
For the financial year 2024-2025, we will receive £290,080 for pupil premium.
Varna Community Primary School is held accountable for the spending of these monies, performance tables will capture the achievement of disadvantaged students covered by the Pupil Premium. There has been a steady increase in the Pupil Premium funding over the years. Varna is committed to providing effective resources and ensuring vital support is in place for our disadvantaged students to improve their academic outcomes.
