Pupil Premium
Frank Barnes School Pupil Premium
Pupil premium is funding to improve education outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in schools in England. Evidence shows that disadvantaged children generally face additional challenges in reaching their potential at school and often do not perform as well as other pupils. (DfE). For 2023-2024, we received £24,735.00 in Pupil Premium Funding.

School leaders can decide on which activity to spend their pupil premium (and recovery premium) effectively to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils.
We look at all areas of pupils’ learning when planning our Pupil Premium strategy. Evidence suggests that pupil premium spending is most effective when used across 3 areas:
- high-quality teaching, such as staff professional development
- targeted academic support, such as tutoring
- wider strategies to address non-academic barriers to success in schools, such as attendance, behaviour, and social and emotional support.
You can find further information on our annual allocation of funding and impact of expenditure in the Pupil Premium Statements on this page.
These statements detail our school’s use of pupil premium funding to help improve the attainment of our disadvantaged pupils.
It outlines our pupil premium strategy, how we intend to spend the funding in this academic year and the effect that last year’s spending of pupil premium had within our school. Our Pupil Premium Strategy is reviewed annually in the Autumn Term.
