Pupil Premium Funding
What is Pupil Premium Funding?
Pupil Premium Funding is additional government funding paid to your registered childcare provider to support your child/children's development, learning and care. The aim of the funding is to help close the gap between children from low-income and other disadvantaged families and their peers. The funding is allocated to nurseries/schools based on the number of pupils who would be eligible for free school meals or are in Local Authority care.
Our Objectives
At Victoria House we use the Pupil Premium to provide additional educational support to improve the progress and to raise the standard of achievement for these pupils. We use this extra funding in lots of different ways to give the children the best start in life and to prepare them for full-time school. For example, the funding can be used to provide:
- Specialist training for staff e.g. speech and language development training
- Extra or individual support in a particular area of learning
- Extra equipment to support particular development
- Additional staffing or staff hours to enable further support for your child
