Every child from Reception onwards, who has either been in Local Authority Care, or has been entitled to Free School Meals at any time in the last 6 years, is eligible for Pupil Premium funding. This funding is given directly to schools to provide additional resources and support to ensure that all children reach their potential. At Lauriston, we have 95 children eligible for funding and we use this funding for Learning Mentor support, in class Teacher Assistant support, external agency support, resources, training for staff on how to support this group of children best, as well as subsidies, if requested, of music lessons, trips, after school clubs and breakfast club for pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium.
