Pupil Premium Statement
Regardless of background, all students at JHGS can #BeMore.
John Hampden Grammar School has a responsibility to spend Pupil Premium funding on interventions within our context that will support the attainment of our Pupil Premium students. The school spends its allocated Pupil Premium funding each year with the following three aims:
- To close the academic attainment gap between Pupil Premium students and non-Pupil Premium students.
- To ensure that Pupil Premium students can fully access the curriculum, including costs associated with the curriculum such as educational visits and revision materials.
- To ensure that Pupil Premium students can be fully involved in the wider life of the school, such as in sports clubs, the Duke of Edinburgh Award and music lessons.
The JHGS Pupil Premium Strategy Statement can be found attached below.
Spending of the Pupil Premium budget is primarily restricted to categories that the school has determined will help us to achieve the aims of the Pupil Premium policy. Spending is also applied differently according to need, and in line with the following three groups:
Group 1 - Students who are eligible for the Pupil Premium grant (Ever 6, CLA, post-CLA)
Group 2 – Students who are eligible for the Armed Forces Premium funding
Group 3 – Broader benefit
