The Pupil Premium Strategy Checklist helps headteachers, senior leaders and governors check that pupil premium funding is being spent well. It is based on the DfE's Pupil premium guidance and follows a five-step approach: identify, evidence, develop, implement and evaluate.
What's inside
- Identifying the challenges faced by disadvantaged pupils
- Using evidence to support your strategy
- Developing your strategy
- Implementing your strategy
- Evaluating your strategy
- Funding rates for primary and secondary-aged pupils, and the payment schedule (check these against the DfE's current allocations)
