Pupil Premium
The government believes that the pupil premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.

What do we do at Elland CE School?
We have planned our Pupil Premium spend using research-based evidence from EEF, which looked at the most effective strategies to boost attainment and progress in school.
You can find out how we are spending our Pupil Premium allocation by downloading the Pupil Premium Planned Spending for 2019-20 above.
Schools are accountable for the ways in which they choose to spend their Pupil Premium funding. At Elland CE, we aim to measure the impact of all our spending on each child, and evaluate the effectiveness.
In the 2019 to 2020 financial year, schools will receive £1,320 for pupils in Reception to Year 6 who are registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years.
