PUPIL PREMIUM

The Pupil Premium is additional funding allocated to a school to help individual students achieve the same as their peers regardless of background. The aim is to close any attainment gap between them and their peers.

Those eligible are:

Pupils who are recorded as eligible for free school meals, or have been recorded as eligible in the past 6 years
Children looked after by local authorities, referred to as looked-after children
Children previously looked after by a local authority or other state care, referred to as previously looked-after children
Children where one of their parents is serving in the regular armed forces or has been in the last 6 years

At Royal Wootton Bassett Academy, we aim to deliver quality first teaching to all students, regardless of social background. Through extensive strategic planning and evaluations of outcomes, we have a range of successful support strategies in place for our students in receipt of the Pupil Premium.
