Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium funding is a government initiative designed to target resources to those pupils deemed to be from a disadvantaged background. Specifically, the Pupil Premium fund is based on the number of pupils who have been on Free School Meals (FSM) at any point over the past 6 years (Ever 6 FSM).
Ursuline College also receives extra funding for every pupil with a parent who:
- is serving in HM Forces
- has retired on a pension from the Ministry of Defence
This funding is to help with pastoral support.
Pupil Premium is used to promote strategies which narrow the attainment gap between the highest and lowest achieving pupils, and enable eligible pupils to thrive, particularly if they demonstrate high ability. More information on how the school do this can be found in the documentation below:
