Section 48 Report

An school like St Francis is defined under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 as having a religious character.  Consequently, religious education and the content of collective worship are inspected under section 48 of the Education Act 2005. The inspectors who conduct section 48 inspections are drawn from the Education Commission’s section 48 inspectorate.

Pupil Premium

What is pupil premium funding?

Pupil premium funding from the government is given to schools to help pupils reach their full potential, regardless of their background or financial situation. It’s provided for pupils who:

• Are registered for free school meals
• Have been registered for free school meals at any point in the past 6 years
• Are, or have been, in care
• Have parents in the armed forces

At St Francis, we get an extra money for every eligible pupil who is registered for free school meals. This extra money could make a real difference to the quality of education we offer.

For example, we’ve previously used pupil premium funding for:

✓ Educational provision/resources
✓ Academic interventions
✓ Wellbeing and self-esteem building interventions
