Pupil Premium Policy Spa Camberwell
Spa Camberwell accepts responsibility for ‘socially disadvantaged’ pupils. Staff and trustees are committed to meeting their pastoral, social, and academic needs within a caring special school environment. This is an essential, integral part of the supportive ethos of the whole school community.
As with every pupil on our roll, a child who is considered to be ‘socially disadvantaged’ is valued, respected and entitled to develop to his or her full potential, irrespective of need.
The Pupil Premium targets extra money at pupils from deprived backgrounds, which research shows underachieve compared to their non-deprived peers. The premium is provided in order to support these pupils in reaching their potential. It is in addition to any funding the pupil may receive to support their special educational needs.
The DfE uses pupils entitled to Free School Meals (FSM) as an indicator for deprivation. They allocate a fixed amount of money to schools per pupil, based on the number of pupils registered for Free School Meals.
Spa Camberwell’s priority for Pupil Premium spending is to ensure that all pupils are engaged at school and that there is not a significant gap between the attainment of pupils eligible for Pupil Premium spending as compared to other pupils at Spa.
In making provision for socially disadvantaged pupils, the school recognises that not all pupils who receive free school meals will be socially disadvantaged. The school also recognises that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals.
