Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium Strategy
Click the report above for the full strategy.
At Locking Stumps Primary School we have high aspirations and ambitions for all our children and we believe that no child should be left behind. We are determined that every child should be given the chance to realise their full potential, whatever their background. Pupil premium represents a significant proportion of our budget and this statement outlines how it is spent to maximum effect.
- We seek to ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all of the pupils
- All staff are involved in the analysis of data so that they are fully aware of strengths and weaknesses across the school
- We use research (such as the Sutton Trust Toolkit) to support us in determining the strategies that will be most effective
- All pupil premium children benefit from the funding, not just those who are underperforming
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) ‘Family of Schools’ Database compares Locking Stumps Primary School favourably when looking at similar schools with similar characteristics. Although the database was only updated in 2015, it highlights the positive contribution our school makes to ‘diminishing the difference’ between advantaged and disadvantaged pupils.

Pupil Premium Categories and Principles
There are three categories of children that qualify for pupil premium:
- Children who are eligible for free school meals (FSM)
- Looked after children
- Armed forces children
What can schools spend it on?
Schools have the freedom to spend the Premium, in a way they think will best support the raising of attainment for the most vulnerable pupils.
All our staff and governors are committed to meeting ALL our children’s pastoral, social and academic needs within a caring environment. The targeted and strategic use of pupil premium will support us in achieving our vision.
