We believe that all children have a right to learn, achieve and succeed, and strive to ensure that every child reaches their true potential. No child should be left behind and we ensure this by making specific provision for children who may belong to vulnerable groups, including those who may be socially disadvantaged. **Pupil Premium Explained:** The Pupil Premium is additional funding provided to help schools which must be used to support children from low income and other disadvantaged families. This is because national statistical evidence shows that it is these children which form the majority of those pupils who may not succeed in education and whose adult life chances may then be seriously affected. Pupil Premium funding is primarily aimed at children who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM). This includes any child who has been registered for FSM in the past 6 years. Funding also covers children in care who have been looked after continuously for more than 6 months, while a smaller “Service Premium” has also been introduced for children whose parents are serving with the armed forces. Each school is free to decide how to spend the Pupil Premium allocated to it, but every school is expected to use the funding to help close any gaps in attainment between eligible pupils and their peers. Schools are held accountable for this by publishing details of their allocation and their plans for expenditure. Schools must also provide a statement for parents and outside agencies confirming allocations, expenditure and the impact which this has had. ### 2026/2027 Pupil Premium Strategy Statement and 2026/2026 Impact Review 26 27 Bolton Primary School Pupil Premium Strategy Statement and 25 26 Impact Review 110 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/7a_and_7b_26_27_Bolton_Primary_School_Pupil_Premium_Strategy_Statement_and_25_26_Impact_Review.docx) **Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.** - [Department for Education](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/pupil-premium-information-for-schools-and-alternative-provision-settings) - Articles and advice for children and young people. ### EEF Guide to Pupil Premium guide to the pupil premium - 2024 2.28 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/files/documents/guide_to_the_pupil_premium_-_2024.pdf) ### Key Information - [Admissions](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/admissions) - [Attendance and absence procedures](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/attendance-and-absence-procedures) - [British Values](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/british-values) - [Equality](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/equality) - [Financial Information](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/financial-information) - [GDPR](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/gdpr) - [Governors](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/governors) - [Policies](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/policies) - [Local Offer](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/local-offer) - [Ofsted and Performance Data](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/ofsted-and-performance-data) - [Online Safety Information](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/online-safety-information) - [PE and Sport Premium](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/pe-and-sport-premium) - [Pupil Premium](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/pupil-premium) - [Safeguarding Information](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/safeguarding-information) - [School Improvement](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/school-improvement) - [School Values](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/school-values) - [SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities)](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/send-special-educational-needs-and-disabilities) ![Bolton Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/bolton-primary-school-2/images/logo/logo.png) ### Bolton Primary School Appleby-in-Westmorland Cumbria CA16 6AW 017683 61511 ### Helpful Links - [Prospectus](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/about-us/prospectus) - [School Day](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/about-us/our-school-day) - [Admissions](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/admissions) - [Governors](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/governors) ### Useful Links - [Policies](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/key-information/policies) - [Term Dates](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/parents/term-dates) - [Curriculum](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/bolton-primary-curriculum) - [Newsletter](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/newsletters) ### Translation © Copyright 2026 Bolton Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.bolton.cumbria.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
