Pupil Premium Funding and Catch Up Funding 2022 to 2023

Use of Pupil Premium at St Luke’s Academic Year 2022-23

What is Pupil Premium Funding?
The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.
Pupil Premium Funding is available to both mainstream and non-mainstream schools, such as special schools and pupil referral units.
In the 2022 to 2023 financial year, St Luke’s will receive £1,385 funding for each child registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years. We will also receive £2,410 for each looked-after pupil who:
  • has been looked after for 1 day or more
  • was adopted from care on or after 30 December 2005, or left care under:
    • a special guardianship order
    • a residence order
There is also another form of funding called the Service Premium.  The Service Premium gives schools extra funding to support children and young people with parents in the armed forces. Pupils attract the premium if they meet the following criteria:
  • one of their parents is serving in the regular armed forces
  • one of their parents served in the regular armed forces in the last 3 years
  • one of their parents died while serving in the armed forces and the pupil is in receipt of a pension under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and the War Pensions Scheme (WPS)
For the financial years 2020 to 21, the Service Premium is set at £320 per eligible pupil.

How much will we receive?
We are expecting to receive £70,635 in pupil premium funding this year. 
 
What will the Pupil Premium Funding spent on during 2022-23?
 
We have identified key areas for support for all of the children (who are entitled to pupil premium funding).  We are then targeting support to the children in those areas. This academic year the Pupil Premium funding will be used to:

Improve Teaching
  1. All teachers to develop a pedagogical understanding of the children they are working with and how this links to the curriculum.  Through training, research and visits to other schools to explore outstanding practice.  Learning will be disseminated amongst staff members as part of a whole school approach
  2. Focussed support for all teachers. Training to support their development with regards to Early reading and writing, phonics and early maths skills.
  3. Research the development of early communication and interaction skills and develop a strategy to help improve outcomes for children within Early Years.  Train staff to understand the strategy
Targeted Academic Support
  1. Small group/individual sessions for Focussed Reading Sessions and phonics development sessions
  2. Increase the number of staff in classes to ensure that children have the opportunity to work in small groups or 1-1 work.  
  3. Individual and small group tutoring sessions out of class to develop children’s reading, writing and maths skills
  4. Extra 1-1 focussed speech and language/communication sessions to further develop children’s communication skills
 Wider Strategies
  1. Finalise whole school to mental health and well-being, with support from “With me in mind” and the Learning Disabilities Nurse. Train and support staff to understand and following the school approach.  Include milestones and targets for improvement in the plan.
  2. Further develop school approaches to autism and communication and train staff to enable them to meet the children’s communication and interaction needs.  Identify the impact that the revised approach has on behaviour and well-being
  3. Provide resources and educational experiences (for example, contributions to school visits) to enhance the quality of education and the children’s personal development

Recovery Premium Funding

What is Recovery Premium  Funding?
The recovery premium grant is part of the government’s package of funding to support pupils whose education has been impacted by coronavirus (COVID-19).

How much Recovery Premium Funding will St Luke's Receive?
During the Academic Year 2022-23 we will receive £19,458  in Recovery Premium Funding.

How will the funding be spent?
The funding will be spent to help all children catch up on the education that they have missed.  The  funding has been put together with some of the Pupil Premium Funding to ensure that each Key Stage has a smaller number of children in each group, but we have kept the number of teachers and teaching assistants the same.   This will enable  individual and small group support for children within the classroom environment, where they feel more comfortable learning.  Areas for extra support have been identified from teacher assessments in the Autumn Term.

A key role for class staff with be to support Children's Emotional Well-Being.  Supporting their Well-Being will help the children to be able to develop their key skills across the curriculum

What is the Expected Impact of the Recovery Premium Funding?
All children were assessed in the Autumn Term.  We would expect that by the end of the Summer Term children make greater progress than normal due to the use of the Recovery Premium Funding.
