As a local authority maintained school, we receive a grant known as the Pupil Premium grant. This provides funding to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in state-funded schools in England. 

The grant also provides support for children and young people of service families, referred to as Service Pupil Premium (SPP). This has been combined into Pupil Premium payments to make it easier for schools to manage their spending. Pupils that the SPP intends to support are not necessarily from financially disadvantaged backgrounds.

Further information about how the amount of Pupil Premium grant the school receives is calculated can be found here. 

Schools are encouraged to use this funding effectively to drive high and rising standards for disadvantaged pupils through implementing evidence-based strategies. Such proven strategies are researched by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF). More information on evidence-based strategies can be found on their website and their Teaching and Learning Toolkit.

Each school produces a Pupil Premium Strategy which outlines how the school intends to spend their Pupil Premium grant to improve outcomes, particularly for disadvantaged learners. Great Steeping's Pupil Premium Strategies can be found below:
