Funding

Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium Grant is an annual supplement to the school’s budget to provide additional support for children. Pupil Premium was introduced by the Government in April 2011, as one of its measures aimed at reducing inequalities. A total of £625 million was allocated to Local Authorities and Schools.

The Government allocates additional funding aimed at supporting pupils who are:

  • Eligible for Free School Meals
  • Looked after by the Local Authority
  • The children of Armed Service personnel

Data collected from schools in January each year, is used to determine the amount of funding a school will receive. Schools decide how the premium is used in order to best support the raising of attainment for these pupils.

Sports Funding
 
At Beechwood, we believe that every child should live a healthy, active lifestyle and that all children should have access to high-quality PE provision. 
 
The sports funding grant allows us to expand the cultural capital of our pupils by providing them with additional sport experiences that go above and beyond the curriculum.
