For Students, Parents/Carers
Specifically, the Pupil Premium money is provided for those pupils who have been on Free School Meals (FSM) at any point over the past 6 years (Ever6), Pupil Premium funding will also be allocated in respect of children of families with No Recourse to Public Funding (NRPF) who are eligible for Free School Meals and whom have made successful claims to ESFA. Or those children who are looked after (CLA), this is categorised as where children have been looked after for at least one day. Allocation will also be awarded for Previously Looked after Children (PCLA), where students have been looked after by the local authority before being adopted or those children who have left the local authority care on a special guardianship order.
For the academic year 2025/2026 the Pupil Premium has a value of £1100 per eligible pupil. Schools receive an additional £1590 for each pupil who has been looked after for 1 day or more, has been adopted from care, or has left care under a special guardianship order, a residence order or a child arrangement order. There is also a smaller provision of £360 made for those pupils who have a parent in the armed services. Neither the government nor any government agencies have dictated how the Pupil Premium money should be spent, but what is clear is that the money should be used to promote strategies, which diminish the progress and attainment differences between disadvantaged pupils and non-disadvantaged pupils nationally.
As of September 2026, 27.2% of our school cohort were eligible for the pupil premium grant. Please refer to the documentation on the school website for the pupil premium strategy, which breakdowns how money is spent to best support students.
At Temple Moor High School, our approach to supporting disadvantaged students is rooted in our commitment to pursuing excellence in everything we do. We believe that every student, regardless of background, circumstance or starting point, should have access to an ambitious, high-quality education and the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
The Pupil Premium provides additional funding to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged students. Our approach is based on understanding the needs of our students and using evidence informed strategies to remove barriers to learning, strengthen engagement and improve outcomes. This reflects national guidance that Pupil Premium strategies should be informed by an assessment of pupils' needs and reliable evidence of what is most likely to make a difference.
Our ambition is not simply to close gaps. We want our disadvantaged students to attend well, engage fully, achieve highly and develop the confidence and aspiration they need to succeed beyond Temple Moor.
Our Pupil Premium strategy is centred around three interconnected priorities:
Being in school, every day and ready to learn, is fundamental to making progress. We work proactively with students and families to identify and address barriers to attendance, providing early and targeted support where it is needed.

We are committed to removing barriers that may prevent students from accessing learning and participating fully in school life. Through strong pastoral systems, targeted support and an inclusive culture, we aim to ensure that students feel safe, supported, valued and able to succeed.

High-quality teaching is at the heart of our approach. We maintain high expectations for all students and focus on excellent classroom practice, literacy, numeracy and responsive teaching to ensure disadvantaged students can access and succeed across our broad and ambitious curriculum.
This is consistent with Temple Moor's existing commitment to ensuring teaching and learning is of a consistently high quality and using quality-first teaching to support disadvantaged students.

Alongside these whole-school priorities, we use targeted academic and pastoral support to respond to individual barriers and help students sustain progress. We also seek to raise aspirations and ensure students are well prepared to make successful choices at Post-16 and Post-18.
Our Pupil Premium strategy is reviewed and refined so that resources are directed towards the approaches that will have the greatest impact. Our ultimate aim is clear: to improve attendance, inclusion, attainment and future opportunities so that disadvantage is never a barrier to success.
