Pupil Premium Funding
Coombe Dean School is committed to ensuring that every individual student is given the best possible chance of achieving their full potential. As such we seek to do ‘whatever is right for the individual’ rather than labeling students according to externally-defined groups. However, Pupil Premium funding is allocated to every school based on numbers of students known to be eligible for free school meals, those who have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years, or who have been looked after in the care of the local authority continuously for more than six months. Schools also receive funding, called the Year 7 literacy and numeracy catch-up premium grant, to support students who do not achieve a Level 4 in either their English or Maths KS2 SATs. Schools can decide how to allocate this additional funding to best ensure each student thrives and makes excellent progress in their learning.
