pupil premium

The Pupil Premium is grant funding and is in addition to the School’s Delegated Budget. The Pupil Premium is awarded for all pupils who have been registered for Free School Meals at any time during the last six years. The Pupil Premium is also awarded for any child who has been looked after consecutively for more than six months at the time of the pupil census. The Pupil Premium allocates a smaller amount of funding for any pupils whose parents are in the armed forces.

The Pupil Premium is designed to narrow the gap in achievement between children who come from low-income families and those who are more affluent.  Maghull High School is using the Pupil Premium Funding to raise levels of achievement and aspiration. We aim to do this by using the funding to improve students’ skills in literacy and numeracy; increasing progress in all subject areas; promoting independent learning; improving attendance; promoting positive behaviour and giving pupils aspirational experiences and ambitions.
