Pupil & Sport Premium

Pupil Premium

The Government introduced the Pupil Premium Grant in April 2011.  This grant, which is additional to main school funding, is seen by the government as the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their wealthier peers, by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.  The Pupil Premium is allocated to schools and is clearly identifiable. Schools can decide how the Pupil Premium is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.

At Haywood Village Academy we ensure that teaching and learning opportunities are designed to meet the needs of all our pupils.  We do this by providing high quality classroom teaching supplemented by interventions to support vulnerable learners as and when required.  In addition we ensure equity on all enrichment opportunities, as well as basic school equipment. The School Leadership Team, the Cabot Learning Federation and the Academy Council monitor the impact of all spending and interventions, including the Pupil Premium.

In making provision for qualifying disadvantaged pupils, we recognise that not all pupils who receive free school meals (FSM pupils) are disadvantaged. We also recognise that not all pupils who are disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals. We monitor provision funded through pupil premium and take steps to ensure that all pupils on our FSM (Ever 6) List benefit from this funding.

Sports Premium

In March 2013 the government announced that it was to provide additional funding for academic years 2013 to 2014 and 2014 to 2015 to improve provision of physical education and sport in primary schools in England – The Primary PE and Sport Premium.This funding is allocated to primary school headteachers/principals. The funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools. In September 2017, the spending was increased.  How Haywood Village Academy has chosen to spend this money can be found on this webpage.

It is our belief that if physical education is taught well and placed at the heart of school life, it improves not only school sport and physical activity but impacts significantly on children’s emotional well-being. All of these areas are pieces of a jigsaw that create a whole picture that should contribute to the very best outcomes for children and young people
