Stanley Green Infant Academy & Starfish Nursery

Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium is additional money allocated to the Academy for children of statutory school age from low-income families who are known to be eligible for Free school meals (FSM) and to children of service families and who have been looked after continuously for more than six months.

 

To make the most effective use of Pupil Premium funding, we ensure teaching and learning is delivered through small targeted groups for core learning. We deploy Higher Level Teaching Assistants to deliver a wide range of focused, small group and 1-1 intervention sessions; Pastoral Care, Emotional Literacy and Speech and Language programmes during the school day.

For more information on how this was spent to help the children please view our Pupil Premium Strategy documents below. 

Pupil Premium is available for children whose parents receive:

  • Income Support

  • Jobseeker’s Allowance (income-based)

  • Employment and Support Allowance (income-based)

  • Child Tax Credit based on income below £16,190

  • The Guarantee element of State Pension Credit

  • Asylum Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

  • Working Tax Credit ‘run-on’ (this is the payment someone may receive for a further four weeks after they stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit)

Children who receive Income Support or income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance in their own right qualify as well.
