Martin Mossop is our PPG Champion link on behalf of Eastrop's Academy Committee. 

At Eastrop, we hold high aspirations for all children. We believe all children should be given every opportunity to reach their full potential. 

We recognise that some pupils are entitled to the pupil premium funding and we use this money to ensure we are diminishing the gaps between them and their peers. The money is spent on high quality teaching, targeted academic support and wider outcomes.

Our priorities include:

  • ensuring all pupils can access the curriculum
  • supporting children’s needs;
  • supporting and extending more able pupils.
  • supporting all children to feel secure and happy at school;

What is the Pupil Premium?

The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) was introduced in April 2011. The funding, received as an addition sum to the general annual grant (calculated using the total number of children on roll), is based on school census figures for the following children:

Those eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the past six years.
Those who have been adopted, or have a special guardianship, residence or child arrangements order in place.
Those recorded as a service child or in receipt of a child pension from the Ministry of Defence.

Eligibility for Free School Meals

Families who are in receipt of one or more of the following are entitled to free school meals and by registering, unlock vital funding that the school can use to support their child:

  • Income Support
  • Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
  • Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
  • Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
  • Working Tax Credit run-on, paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
  • Universal Credit
