Pupil Premium

The Southfield Trust receives additional funding through the Pupil Premium Grant to support pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds. 

We use this funding to help ensure that all pupils can access the full range of opportunities available to them and we will consider the challenges faced by vulnerable pupils, such as those with a social worker or young carer. 

Who is eligible?

Funding may be available for pupils who:

• Are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM)

• Have been eligible for Free School Meals in the past six years

• Are looked after by a local authority

• Have previously been looked after by a local authority

• Have a parent serving in the armed forces

How is the funding used?

Pupil Premium funding may be used to support:

• Additional teaching and intervention

• Communication, sensory and wellbeing support

• Enrichment activities and educational visits

• Attendance and engagement initiatives

• Resources that help pupils access learning and develop independence

Free School Meals Registration

Even if your child already receives free school meals, it is still important to register if you are eligible.

Registering can generate additional funding for the school, allowing us to provide further support for pupils and families.
