Pupil Premium
What is Pupil Premium?
The pupil premium was introduced in April 2011. It is allocated to children from low-income families who have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months and children with parents serving in the forces.

The Service Pupil Premium
The Service Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 in recognition of specific challenges faced by children whose parents are in service and as part of a commitment to the armed forces covenant.
It is designed to assist the school in providing the additional support that these children may need and is currently worth £335 per service child who meets the eligibility.
Eligibility Criteria:
• One of their parents serving in the regular armed forces
• They have been registered as a ‘service child’ in the school census
• One of their parents died whilst serving in the armed forces and the pupil receives a pension under the
Armed Forces Compensation Scheme
• Pupils with a parent who is on full commitment as part of the full-time reserve service
Eligible schools receive the SPP so that they can offer mainly pastoral support to children during challenging times and to help mitigate the negative impact on service children of family mobility or parental deployment.
Schools have flexibility over how they use the SPP as they are best placed to understand and respond to the specific needs of those pupils.
If your child meets the eligibility criteria, please arrange an appointment to speak to the Senior Leadership Team to discuss the specific needs of your family so that school can consider how best to allocate this funding.
Attendance
At Shiremoor Primary School, we believe that every child should attend school. If children are not in school, then we cannot deliver their full entitlement for any policy area. We will work with parents and do everything we can to promote positive attendance including taking action to fine parents where necessary if support has already failed to secure improvements.
