Pupil Premium at Bowling Park Primary 2013-2014

Pupil Premium is additional money given to school to support children who are entitled to free school meals
(or have been in the past 6 years) or looked after children.
The money is used to raise achievement for these children and it is up to our school how money is allocated.
The following information tells you how much funding we have received, how we are using it and the impact it
is having in closing the gap between disadvantaged children and their peers. The impact of pupil premium is
discussed regularly at pupil progress meetings and is tracked on achievement days.
School then has to report on the money to the Governors, including how the money is spent and what the
impact is on achievement.

Bowling Park prides itself on providing children with experiences that go beyond the day-to-day curriculum
and that they might not have encountered. For example, in the autumn term 2013, Pupil Premium children
went on a variety of trips and residential including 3 days in Ghyll Head and 2 nights on a tall ship. These
opportunities have enabled children to use new-found skills back in school to help them make accelerated
progress. The experiences are also important because they increase confidence and self-esteem, as well as
helping to develop a growth mind-set.
