Pupil Premium Arrangements
The Pupil Premium is a Government initiative which provides additional funding to schools in order to raise the attainment of children from backgrounds considered to be disadvantaged. The aim of this funding is to try to close the ‘achievement gap’ by enabling schools to directly support individual students appropriately.
Schools are required to provide annual reports to parents summarising the allocation and use of the Pupil Premium funding received each year. Our most recent reports can be found below.
- Pupil Premium Plan 2025-26 which outlines our Pupil Premium Policy, Grant Expenditure Review & Spending Plan.

- Educational Trip Subsidy Form allows parents/guardians to apply for financial support with the cost of trips or educational visits which have a direct link to the academic curriculum.
These forms should be emailed, posted or delivered to the Blue Coat finance department. Each case will be considered on an individual basis and a response will be provided in due course.
Pupil Premium Strategy
Underserved Charter & Little Card Policy
At Coventry Blue Coat Church of England School, we are committed to ensuring that every pupil can "live life in all its fullness" regardless of their background or circumstance. As part of our commitment to educational equity, we have developed our BCS Underserved Charter, which outlines the promises we make to our disadvantaged and underserved pupils and families. The charter focuses on dignity, inclusion, high aspiration, belonging, and ensuring fair access to learning, enrichment and support opportunities for every child.
Alongside this, our Little Card Policy provides a discreet and supportive way for identified pupils to communicate when they may need additional help, understanding, or pastoral support. The policy helps staff respond quickly and consistently, ensuring pupils feel safe, valued, and able to access learning successfully.
- Our approach is underpinned by our commitment to:
- Removing barriers to learning.
- Providing equitable access to opportunities and enrichment.
- Ensuring pupils feel known, included and supported.
- Maintaining high expectations and high aspirations for all.
- Working closely with families to secure the very best outcomes.
