Pupil Premium Strategy at Hepworth J & I School
What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium is the term given to money allocated to schools in their budget related to the number of children who are eligible for free school meals (FSM), looked after children (LAC), post LAC and armed forces children. The figure is calculated on any child in school who has been eligible for FSM in the past six years. The money is allocated to initiatives to ensure pupils reach their full potential both academically and socially.
For more details on the Pupil Premium please visit:

If your child does not have free school meals, but may be eligible because of your family’s income level, please contact the office (in confidence) to register them. Even if you do not wish them to have the meals, this would mean that school could still claim the Pupil Premium funding that may be used to help them.
Our Objectives
At Hepworth J & I School we use our pupil premium funding to address three main objectives:
1. To support eligable pupils in making accelerated progress
2. To support eligable pupils with social skills & emotional needs
3. To enrich the lives of eligable pupils
At Hepworth our priority is to 'narrow the gap' for the most vulnerable pupils who are not on track to meet expected outcomes for their year group. We also aim to support them with any social needs. We also recognise that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged are registered or take up FSM. We try to ensure that all pupils who need support access the interventions set up for pupils who do qualify for Pupil Premium.
Provision
At Hepworth we run 1 to 1 and small group interventions to support pupils. These groups support pupils with their learning and emotional wellbeing. The 1 to 1 support targets learning in small bursts to help plug gaps in learning. Group learning focusses on phonics and spelling, maths or reading. Each week social skills groups meet to help build friendships and to have time to discuss any home or school issues.
Hepworth pupil premium money also provides enrichment activities such as sports and drama.
