Pupil Premium is an additional grant given to students who:
- have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any time in the last six years (£900)
- have been in care for more than six months (£900) or adopted
- have parents/carers in the armed services, who face particular challenges (£250)
We received £241,566 for the academic year 2013/2014.
At Sir Thomas Boteler Church of England High School we have developed many intervention strategies over a number of years designed to support each individual student. We aim to provide each student with the opportunity to attain their full academic potential and the skills and qualifications to access further education and the world of work
Below is a list of strategies that we use to support students. The cost of intervention strategies far exceeds the total amount we receive for the Student Premium.
