The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011, and paid by means of a specific grant based on the
school census figures for pupils registered as eligible for FSM in reception to Year 11. For looked
after children the Pupil premium was calculated using the Children Looked After data returns
(SSDA903). A premium has also been introduced for children whose parents are currently serving in
the armed forces. This service premium is designed to address the emotional and social well-being of
these pupils.

For direct information regarding their child parents should contact the Head Teacher.
To help us ensure that we are able to claim the correct level of funding, please ask at the school office for a form and return it once completed.
The Pupil Premium grant is additional to main school funding and it will be used by Sutton St James School in the following ways:
At Sutton St James CP School we are committed to remove the gap in attainment between disadvantaged pupils and other pupils.
1. We will ensure that the additional funding reaches the Pupil Premium (PP) pupils and that it
makes a significant impact on their education and lives.
2. The Pupil Premium will be used to provide additional educational support to improve the
progress and to raise the standard of achievement for these pupils.
3. The funding will be used to narrow and close the gap between the achievements of Pupil
Premium pupils and their peers.
4. Sutton St James School will use the additional funding to address any underlying inequalities
between children eligible for Pupils Premium and others.
The Headteacher and governing body have agreed a policy for Pupil Premium to guide the use of
funds and to ensure that it represents value for money.
The Headteacher and appointed Pupil Premium Governor (Mr Nathan Mastin) will regularly and rigorously monitor, evaluate and review the strategies we have put into place for Pupil Premium and report to the governing body on its progress and impact.

This area appears overspent due to previous year TA costs being processed late and hence two years’ worth of TA salaries being taken in this year. Focused 1:1 time with teachers has enabled teachers to accelerate progress of some PP children by discussing targets with them, suggesting ways of improving work and addressing gaps in knowledge. Homework club has enabled many PP children to be supported in doing their homework, having access to the resources that they need and ensuring that their learning continues outside of the classroom.
