Disadvantaged Students & The Pupil Premium

Disadvantaged Students - Understanding Pupil Premium Funding and Our Strategy

What is Pupil Premium Funding?

Pupil Premium Funding is a vital initiative by the UK government designed to improve educational outcomes for students who may face financial and social challenges. This funding aims to close the attainment gap between disadvantaged students and their peers, ensuring every child has the opportunity to succeed regardless of their background.

Eligible pupils include:

• Children who have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years.

• Children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months.

• Children from service families.

Our Pupil Premium Strategy

At Thurstable School, we are committed to utilising Pupil Premium Funding effectively to make a real difference in the lives of our students. Our comprehensive strategy focuses on targeted support to enhance learning outcomes for eligible students.

We believe every child deserves an excellent education and the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Through our dedicated use of Pupil Premium Funding, we strive to provide an inclusive and supportive environment that empowers all students to succeed.
