The Government provides additional funding to schools to support Pupil Premium children and it is called a Pupil Premium Grant (PPG). Schools receive 1,300 for each child registered as eligible for free school meals. In Herefordshire, schools can also apply for up to 1,900 worth of funding for looked after pupils. Service children attract a premium of 300.
All classes have the support of a teaching assistant. In some areas of high need there are extra TAs which help reduce the pupil:teacher ratio. The TA skills are used to support small groups, target pupils for 1-1 work and boost key skills in SATs years.
There is very little difference between the achievement of pupils in receipt of PPG and those who don t. In one area, reading comprehension, there are two year groups where there is a small deficit. Money has therefore been targeted to allow TAs to hear pupils read daily.
Speech and Language therapy assistant Little Dewchurch has access to a SALT assistant who works with pupils across the school to ensure early intervention.
