Pupil Premium

Information on how Ormiston Latimer supports disadvantaged learners through the Pupil Premium 

The Pupil Premium is a government initiative that provides additional funding to schools and academies to support students who are eligible for free school meals. This funding plays a vital role in supporting the education, well-being, and development of learners from lower-income backgrounds. While the funding is targeted at specific groups, the strategies developed through the Pupil Premium are designed to enhance the learning experience of all students.

At Ormiston Latimer, our commitment to equality of experience, access to enrichment opportunities, and strong academic outcomes for every learner is central to our ethos. This includes ensuring access to an age-appropriate curriculum that supports successful reintegration into mainstream education where appropriate. Pupil Premium funding is therefore used to close attainment gaps, raise aspirations, build self-belief, and improve life chances for young people.

To achieve this, we implement a range of supportive approaches, including the provision of a free breakfast club, school uniforms, reading recovery resources, social and emotional assessments, and engagement with statutory and voluntary partners. In addition, we offer a carefully planned enrichment programme that supports the development of cultural capital.
