Pupil Premium and Catch Up Funding

This money is used to provide interventions and support for children who have been in receipt of free school meals during the last 6 years, Looked after Children, Service Children, adopted and vulnerable children. 

We have a clear process for identifying relevant interventions for different children, through regular meetings of our Inclusion Team which includes headteacher, SENCo, governor and other relevant staff. All teachers contribute to the review.

Some examples of how we allocate PPG is detailed below, for a full breakdown of the use of the Pupil Premium money, please see Pupil Premium and Catch Up Funding document.  Please note that this is continually being reviewed, monitored and updated.

Catch Up Funding is being provided as a result of lost learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The impact of all interventions is closely monitored within Glebe by all staff to ensure all children reach their potential.  We continue to review our practice and are always seeking ways to address areas of need. If you have any suggestions, ideas or comments, please contact us on 01773 811304.
