Pupil Premium and Recovery Funding

The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is additional funding to help schools close the attainment gap between children from low-income and other disadvantaged families and their peers.  Recovery Funding is additional funding to address gaps in attainment that have grown wider as a result of the partial closure of schools in 2020 and 2021 and is based on the number of pupils in the school who qualify for PPG.

Overview

The PPG is aimed at Reception to Year 11 pupils who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM).  This category now includes any child who has been registered for FSM in the past 6 years (known as ‘Ever 6 FSM’).

The funding also covers children in care aged 4–15 who have been looked after continuously for more than 6 months. These are referred to as Children Looked After (CLA).

A service premium has also been introduced for children whose parents are serving in the armed forces.

We always ensure that matters regarding the use of the Pupil Premium fund are treated sensitively and with discretion.

In the academic year 2022-23, Beulah Infant and Nursery School will have an allocation of £98,335 based on last year’s pupil numbers.

In the academic year 2022-23, Beulah Infant and Nursery School will have an allocation of £8,478 of recovery funding based on the number of pupils qualifying for PPG.
