Pupil Premium Entitlement & COVID 19 Statement

PUPIL PREMIUM

Our aim is to make Lancaster Girls’ Grammar school as open and inclusive as possible to all children. The school prioritises pupils eligible for Pupil Premium in its admissions’ policy and wishes to support those pupils and families when they join LGGS.

We appreciate that pupils may travel longer than the average distance to school in order to access a selective education so we provide some support with transport costs. Our main aims in using the funds are to ensure that pupils eligible for Pupil Premium funding have equal access to the opportunities available to every pupil in our school and are supported so that they can achieve at the very highest standard.

If your child is currently eligible, a free school meal will be provided through our cashless catering system.  For any child offered a place at LGGS (i.e. who has been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years) we will provide:

  • Help towards the cost of school uniform. In Year 7 all reasonable uniform costs can be met through Pupil Premium. This includes school sports kit and specialist equipment e.g. lab coat. Year 7 pupils who are eligible for Pupil Premium have a fund of £180 to spend at our uniform suppliers. The fund can also be used to top up items of uniform eg new skirts, maroon jumper in KS4.
  • Free essential equipment for lessons –the pack to start Year 7, which includes a calculator, art materials etc is provided free.
  • Free essential school trips – which are part of your child’s education will be free, e.g. trips to theatres, museums and field trips which form part of teaching subjects in the curriculum. This does not apply to extra-curricular trips e.g. ski trips, etc.
  • Free lessons in school to learn to play a musical instrument.
  • Free Revision Guides which are purchased by the school
  • Support with the cost of the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award enrolment
