Pupil Premium
What is the Pupil Premium?
The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is
the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between students from disadvantaged
backgrounds and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the students
who need it most.

What are the key barriers to educational achievement faced by PP students at South?
We have identified through internal analysis and external research that there are five key barriers to achievement for our PP students:
- The attendance of PP students is often less frequent than that of non PP students.
- The literacy and / or numeracy levels of our PP students are often lower than our non PP students
- Our PP students can lack the resilience of their non PP counterparts
- The study habits of PP students are not always as effective as the rest of their cohort, which also affects homework completion and revision.
- PP students may have lower aspirations when compared to non PP students
We have principally directed our funding into strategies to address these barriers, as well as to ensure that our students are well-prepared for life after South.
