Pupil Premium Import/Bulk Edit
You can import a Pupil Premium Import from Students > Actions > Pupil Premium Import. Which also has the option for three Annual Imports per Year for Spring, Summer and Autumn.
Pupil Premium Status and Early Years Pupil Premium can also be updated in bulk from the Student List Page.
Select the required Students and then from the Actions dropdown click Quick Edit.
Choose either Pupil Premiums or Early Years Pupil Premium from the Attribute dropdown to update the same field for multiple Students.
Note: By default, many Bromcom routines run nightly. This means if changes are made in a working day, you may need to wait until the next day for the changes to take affect, depending on how you have configured the routines.
Pupil Premium Status
Pupil Premium eligibility is defined by the Government.
Bromcom will add Pupil Premium status to the Student if any one of the following conditions are met in the Student Profile
IMPORTANT: Pupil Premium status can only be applied to Students who are of Statutory Age. (i.e. Students younger than 5 or older than 16 cannot be recorded as being in receipt of Pupil Premium)
1) Any entry against Post Looked After Arrangements other than Not Declared.which can be found in the Student Record under Student Details (see Additional Details tab).
2) Ever 6 = “Yes” (i.e. if the Student has been eligible for FSM at any point in the last 6 years.)
3) FSM = “Yes” (i.e. currently eligible for FSM, this in turn triggers the Ever 6 flag).
IMPORTANT : For points 2 and 3 above following the expansion of FSM, only pupils eligible for Targeted FSM will be part of the Ever 6 FSM cohort. This means that pupils who become eligible for FSM for the first time through the new Expanded FSM category will not attract pupil premium funding. For more information see DfE Pupil Premium Overview
4) Member of Armed Forces marked against a Parental Contact.
5) Service Children in Education within Student Details > Additional Details = Yes
6) Anything entered against Pupil Premium Type within the Funding & Allowance section of the Student Record. This section confirms the funding received for that Student from the government. You might use this section if for example, students arrive part way through the year.
7) If the student is recorded as currently Looked After within the Safeguarding section of the Student Profile.
Note: For Early Years Pupil Premium, see view below from Funding and Allowances within the Student Profile.
