Pupil Premium Report - Brampton Manor Academy

Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) expenditure: 2013-­14
Report to governors and parents
Purpose
The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is
the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free
school meals (FSM) and their wealthier peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage
reaches the pupils who need it most.
The Pupil Premium is allocated to schools and is clearly identifiable. It is for schools to decide how
the Pupil Premium, allocated to schools per FSM pupil, is spent, since they are best placed to
assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their
responsibility.
Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit. However they will be held accountable
for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils from low-income families.
Measures are included in the performance tables that capture the achievement of those deprived
pupils covered by the Pupil Premium. Schools are also required to publish online information about
how they have used the PPG. This ensures that parents and others are made fully aware of the
attainment of pupils covered by the grant.
