PUPIL PREMIUM & FINANCIAL SUPPORT (POST-16)
Northallerton School and Sixth Form College is using the Pupil Premium funding to narrow the gap between the performance of different students and different groups of students. We aim to:
- Ensure that all students make better than expected progress in relation to their starting points.
- Ensure that students are academically competent and have a well-developed range of reading, writing, communication and mathematical skills.
- Ensure that students understand themselves as learners, know how to ‘problem-solve’ and become increasingly independent.
- Ensure that students are emotionally resilient, enjoy positive relationships in school and aspire to be the very best they can be.
- Ensure that students are confident in themselves, enjoy school and attend regularly.
- Ensure that students are supported and challenged to have the highest possible aspirations for themselves regarding future plans.
Please see the Pupil Premium statement for more detail and our current data.
16-19 BURSARY FUND
The 16-19 Bursary Fund exists to help students continue with and complete their course where they would otherwise be prohibited from doing so on financial grounds. This funding, provided by the Education and Skills Funding Agency, replaces both the Education Maintenance Allowance and the discretionary Learner Support Funding from September 2011 onwards.
The Bursary is intended to help with the individual student’s needs, as a result of financial hardship. Its intent is to ‘enable’ a learner to continue with their education and should not be viewed as an incentive to attract young people into learning. Generally, awards from the Bursary will be used towards essential course related costs such as books, equipment, travel, field trips, visits and other costs associated with learning. Northallerton School and Sixth Form College will seek to ensure that the funds available are:-
- Distributed fairly through a process which is transparent and easily understood. Information about the process for application and consideration is available on the college website www.northallertonschool.org.uk
- Assessed and allocated to each individual’s need, taking into account the financial circumstances of the applicant and the intended use of the award.
- Used to widen access to, and participation in, sixth form education.
16-19 Bursary Funding and the guidance concerning the administrative arrangements, priority groups for support and monitoring arrangements is issued by the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). This gives a broad overview of the Fund on the whole and instructs schools on the appropriate use of the funding.

CARE TO LEARN – FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR YOUNG PARENTS (UNDER THE AGE OF 20)
Care to Learn provides funding for childcare to help young parents (defined as those aged under 20 on the date they start their study programme) continue in education after the birth of a child. The scheme provides funding childcare whilst the young parent is engaged in a study programme and is not able to provide care for their child. It can also help the young parent with any additional travel costs involved in taking the child to the childcare provider. The maximum funding available is £180 per week.
To be eligible for financial support for childcare you must:
- Be under the age of 20 on the date you start your study programme.
- Be the main carer for the child(ren) and provide evidence in the form of a birth certificate and proof of receipt of Child Benefit for the child(ren).
- Meet the residency criteria within the UK at the start of your study programme.
- Be an enrolled student on: a full-time course; or a part-time course which runs during the day (e.g. GCSEs, A Levels, Level 2 or Level 3 courses)
- Use an Ofsted registered nursery, childminder or after school/breakfast club.
- Be the sole carer of the child and not have a partner able to look after the child while you attend school.
