Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium funding is received directly from central government to help each school meet the needs of disadvantaged pupils who are in receipt of free school meals, or who have been in receipt of free school meals in the past 6 years.

At Weyfield Primary Academy the primary way we support disadvantaged pupils is through the provision of high quality teaching and learning. We have a range of provisions in place including :

  • A wellbeing lead to support vulnerable families.
  • A breakfast club to ensure pupils start the day ready to learn.
  • Extra 1:1 support to enable vulnerable pupils to access the curriculum.

Using the pupil premium effectively

The Education Endowment Foundation has produced a teaching and learning toolkit to help teachers and schools effectively use the pupil premium to support disadvantaged pupils. Its families of schools toolkit helps teachers learn about effective practice from similar schools. We have taken some ideas from other schools and continue to renew and reflect on the best provision and best practice there is available in order to have the greatest impact. Our Pupil Premium strategy can be downloaded below.
