Pupil Premium Support at Healing Primary Academy
At Healing Primary Academy, we are committed to closing the attainment gap and ensuring every child has the support they need to succeed.
Who Qualifies for Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium funding is extra government funding allocated to schools to help support specific groups of children and improve their educational outcomes.
Your child may qualify for Pupil Premium funding if they meet any of the following criteria:
-
Free School Meals (FSM): Children who are currently registered for statutory Free School Meals, or who have been registered for Free School Meals at any point in the last 6 years (Ever 6 FSM).
-
Looked-After Children (LAC): Children who are currently in the care of the local authority.
-
Previously Looked-After Children (PLAC): Children who have left local authority care through adoption, a Special Guardianship Order (SGO), or a Child Arrangements Order.
-
Service Premium: Children who have a parent currently serving in the UK Armed Forces, or who have retired on a pension from the Ministry of Defence.
Even if your child is in Reception, Year 1, or Year 2 (and receives Universal Infant Free School Meals), registering for statutory Free School Meals can trigger this essential Pupil Premium funding directly for our school to support your child.
How We Support Our Pupils
We deploy our Pupil Premium funding strategically across five key areas to ensure maximum impact for our children:
-
🎯 Targeted Academic Support: Teachers closely monitor progress to ensure early identification of any barriers to learning, providing tailored academic interventions, small-group work, and regular check-ins.
-
👩🏫 Quality First Teaching & Feedback: Pupil Premium pupils receive prioritised feedback and high-quality classroom positioning to maximize engagement, confidence, and learning progress daily.
-
🎭 Enrichment & School Trips: We prioritize Pupil Premium pupils for limited-capacity school trips, events, sports visits, and pupil voice groups. We also encourage active participation in extra-curricular clubs by offering a 50% discount on fee-paying clubs and working closely with parents to reduce any financial barriers.
-
🎒 Uniform & Learning Resources: If assistance is needed for essential school uniform or educational equipment, the school can provide direct support or refer families to the LCH charity.
-
💙 Pastoral Care & Well-being: Specific barriers for Pupil Premium pupils are identified, and dedicated pastoral interventions are put into place to support our children’s emotional health and well-being.
