Pupil Premium
Registering For Free School Meals
Please visit the Cheshire East website to find out if you are eligible. http://www.cheshireeast.gov.uk/schools/free_school_meals.aspx
We encourage all eligible families to apply for free school meals as this brings additional funding into school for your child’s education. Even if your child is having Universal Free School Meals, your child could still be eligible for Free School Meals entitlement.
Pupil Premium Statement
All children entitled to Free School Meals will bring a pupil premium additional funding into school. This additional funding is used to help support eligible children to make greater progress and attainment and to reduce the gap between the highest and lowest achievers.
At Monks Coppenhall Academy & Day Nursery the Pupil Premium funding is used to maintain and enhance the extensive curriculum provision including English, Mathematics, Computing and Technology, Music, Art and Speech and Language Therapy. In addition, we also aim to enhance the opportunities children have to access a wide range of extra-curricular and enrichment activities. We firmly believe in the emotional well-being of children if they are to be successful and independent learners. Therefore, the Pupil Premium funding is used also to support ‘Calming Cove’ programme, Forest School and enrichment programmes.
The Principal in consultation with the Governors and staff, will decide how the Pupil Premium is spent for the benefit of the entitled pupils. We recognise some pupils who do not receive Free School Meals, may have some significant barriers to learning. The school reserves the right to allocate the Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil who has been legitimately been identified as being disadvantaged or at risk of being unable to access learning effectively. Pupil Premium funding will be allocated on a needs basis, linked to analysis of outcomes for pupils.
Governors will ensure that there is an annual statement to parents and others on how the Pupil Premium funding has been used to address the issues of ‘narrowing the gap’ for socially disadvantaged pupils.
