Pupil Premium
The Government believes that this targeted additional funding is the best way to help tackle any underlying disadvantages and inadequacies that exist between this group of students and their peers.
The aim is to raise attainment among disadvantaged students by providing a range of learning opportunities that enable these students to reach their full potential regardless of the circumstances that might otherwise impede their progress.
The Government believes that schools are best placed to assess what additional provision their students need.
The PPG has a number of wider aims:
- To increase social mobility;
- To enable more students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access the best in further education;
- To reduce the attainment gap between the highest and lowest achieving students nationally.
In 2016/17 Holyrood Academy received £247,273 in pupil premium(PP) money for 302 students who represented 27.8% of the Academy population (Years 7-11).
