Pupil Premium

At Lowerhouses CE Primary School, we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of background or circumstance. The Pupil Premium is additional funding provided to help us support children who may be vulnerable to underachievement, including those eligible for free school meals, children in care, and those from armed forces families. We use this funding strategically to remove barriers to learning, enhance educational experiences, and promote equity across our school community. Our approach is reviewed annually to ensure it continues to meet the needs of our pupils and delivers meaningful impact.

Our Pupil Premium strategy will be reviewed on an annual basis. 

The Pupil Premium is an allocation of additional funding provided to schools to support specific groups of children who are vulnerable to possible underachievement. There are three categories of children that qualify for pupil premium:

Children who are eligible for free school meals (FSM)
Looked after children
Armed forces children

All schools are required to report on the amount of funding received and how this is being used.

A review of this Pupil Premium strategy will take place in July each year in order that any necessary changes can be implemented, taking into account the school budget.
