Pupil Premium Funding At Southgate School
Pupil Premium Strategy 2025-26
The aim of Pupil Premium is to raise the attainment of eligible pupils, close identified gaps in areas between these pupils and pupils not eligible for Pupil Premium, and help these pupils to make progress which is at least as good as other pupils.
The EEF states ‘The Pupil Premium provides an important focus for prioritising the achievement of children from disadvantaged backgrounds in our education system. When it is most effective, the Pupil Premium will sit at the heart of a whole school effort, with all staff understanding the strategy and their role within it.’ This is what we strive to achieve at Southgate School.
