Pupil Premium at Welton Primary School
At Welton Primary School, we want every child to feel known, valued and able to achieve their full potential. Pupil Premium is additional government funding that helps schools improve outcomes for eligible children and address barriers to learning and opportunity.
Our approach reflects our vision of Building Foundations in the Heart of Our Community and our HEART values: Honesty, Empathy, Ambition, Resilience and Togetherness. We use the funding as part of our wider work to help children be safe, be kind and be their best.
Pupil Premium is funding for state-funded schools in England to support the education and outcomes of eligible children. For the 2026/27 academic year, the school receives £1,550 for each eligible primary-aged pupil.
The funding is given to the school, not paid directly to families. We plan its use around the needs of our children and set out our approach and intended outcomes in our Pupil Premium Strategy Statement.
Schools receive Pupil Premium for children who are currently, or have previously been, eligible for benefit-related free school meals. Funding can only be identified once an application has been made and eligibility confirmed.
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 can receive a free lunch through the Universal Infant Free School Meals offer. This is separate from benefit-related free school meals. If your child may qualify for benefit-related free school meals, please apply when they start school—even if they already receive a free lunch. An application could help Welton receive Pupil Premium funding to support children’s learning and wider opportunities.

Our published strategy explains the approaches we are funding and how we review their impact. We update our strategy statement each year so that it reflects our children’s needs and the outcomes we are working towards.
We value working in partnership with families. If you would like to request support for a particular academic, social or extra-curricular need, please complete our Pupil Premium Request for Funding Form. Requests help us understand what may benefit your child; they are considered alongside the school’s strategy, available funding and individual circumstances.
If you have questions or would like help checking whether your family may be eligible, please contact the school office. We will handle your enquiry sensitively and in confidence.
By working together with families and using funding thoughtfully, we aim to remove barriers and help every child flourish—living our values of Empathy, Ambition and Togetherness.
