The Pupil Premium is an allocation of additional funding provided to schools to support specific groups of children who are vulnerable to possible underachievement. These include pupils who are entitled to Free School Meals, those looked after by the Local Authority or adopted from Local Authority care, and children of armed service personnel. The intended effect of this funding is to accelerate progress and raise attainment, 'closing the gap' between this group and their non-disadvantaged peers.

At Meadlands, Pupil Premium funding is used to enhance and create further learning experiences for pupils from Nursery to Year 6. Details of our provision and desired outcomes for this group can be found in the Pupil Premium Strategy documents, below. We dream big at Meadlands, and our dreams for our children in receipt of PPG funding have resulted in excellent outcomes that ensure they are well prepared for the next stage in their education:

Each year we review our PPG provision and outcomes. We use this to inform our future goals and to determine how we use our allocated funding. For further information regarding our current funding allocation and plan for disadvantaged pupils, please refer to the above PPG Strategy documents and associated audit reports below:
