Pupil Premium
What is Pupil Premium?
- The Pupil Premium is additional funding provided to publicly funded schools in England.
- It is designed to help disadvantaged pupils of all abilities perform better and close the attainment gap between them and their peers.
Students who fall into one or more of the following categories:
- Have been eligible for Free School Meals at any point in the past six years (Ever 6 FSM)
- Have been continuously looked after for the past six months (LAC)
- Have been adopted from care under the Adoption and Children Act 2002 (Post-LAC)
- Have left care under a Special Guardianship or Residence Order
- Have a parent currently serving in the armed forces or receiving a pension from the Ministry of Defence (Service children)
We recognise that:
- Our PP cohort is diverse in background, ability, and personal circumstances.
- National data shows that PP students are statistically more likely to be low attaining than their peers.
- Disadvantaged students who perform well at primary school are significantly less likely than their nondisadvantaged peers to achieve top grades at GCSE.
At KTC, we believe every child should receive the highest quality of education regardless of their starting point in life. We understand that disadvantaged learners may require additional support to achieve outcomes in line with their peers. We are committed to meeting the pastoral and academic needs of our PP students to reduce the attainment gap. We actively identify barriers to learning and work relentlessly to help students overcome them.
Our Pupil Premium strategy is designed to eliminate barriers to learning and accelerate progress for disadvantaged pupils. We aim to ensure that every child, regardless of their starting point in life, achieves highly and thrives both academically and personally.
