PPG & Music Development Plan
Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium is an allocation of additional funding provided to schools to support specific groups of children who are vulnerable to possible underachievement, including pupils who are entitled to free school meals, those looked after by the local authority and the children of armed service personnel.
At Portland Academy, a large proportion of children are eligible for the Pupil Premium with around 41% being eligible for free school meals. We currently have 6 students who are looked after by local authorities.
All our staff, trustees and directors accept responsibility for ‘socially disadvantaged’ pupils and are committed to meeting their pastoral, social and academic needs within a caring environment.
The targeted and strategic use of Pupil Premium will support us in achieving our vision.
