Hi, wonder if anybody could help me with a couple of questions.... firstly how does the pupil premium work? for example my child scored 214 but I think the schools take 30 pp children... how are those children picked? If there are more than 30 pupil premium children getting the qualifying score how does it work? Also took the queens Mary’s test but doesn’t qualify for pp as I am able to work now, what score do you think would be enough this year? Thank you for your help
Hi Shauny, you need to have ticked the PP box on the appplication prior to your DC sitting the test for them to even be considered. From my understanding, PP remains with a child for 6 years, so is irrelevant if you are now working.
Scoring works in the same way as non PP. They will look at all PP children and the top 30 scores will secure a place. The rest will go on a waiting list, who will be determined by score and then distance.
Hope that helps.
