Welburn Hall School - Pupil Premium Strategy
The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gaps between them and their peers.
Financial year 2021 to 2022
In the 2021 to 2022 financial year, schools will receive the following funding for each child registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years:
• £1,345 for pupils in reception year to year 6
• £955 for pupils in year 7 to year11
Schools will also receive £2,345 for each pupil identified in the spring school census as having left local-authority care because of 1 of the following:
• adoption
• a special guardianship order
• a child arrangements order
• a residence order
If a pupil has been registered as eligible for free school meals and has also left local-authority care for any of the reasons above, they will attract the £2,300 rate.
Children who have been in local-authority care for 1 day or more also attract
£2,300 of pupil premium funding. Funding for these pupils is managed by the virtual school head (VSH) in the local authority that looks after the child.
