Pupil Premium at Burnside Primary School
What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium is funding allocated to schools for disadvantaged children. The government believes that Pupil Premium, which is received by the school in addition to other funding, is the best way to address some of the inequalities in the educational results achieved by different groups of pupils.

How we use Pupil Premium funding effectively to narrow the gap and to raise attainment
The Education Endowment Foundation has produced a teaching and learning toolkit to help teachers and schools effectively use the pupil premium to support disadvantaged pupils. This guidance, alongside other research-based evidence, the knowledge we have of our children’s requirements and advice from outside agencies allows us to select appropriate interventions to help narrow the gap and raise attainment.
Pupil Premium Principles
We ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of all the pupils
We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups, this includes ensuring that the needs of children who receive the pupil premium funding are adequately assessed and addressed.
In making provision for pupils, we recognise that not all pupils who receive free school meals will be disadvantaged.
We also recognise that not all pupils who are disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals.
We reserve the right to allocate the Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil or groups of pupils the school has legitimately identified as being disadvantaged.
