Supporting Pupil Premium
Stroud High School recognises students eligible for Pupil Premium and Service Pupil Premium.
Please see our Admissions Policy for further details.
If you are eligible for Pupil Premium, and meet the qualifying score, you will be ranked above non-Pupil Premium students.
Before sitting the entrance test, you will be invited to attend our Familiarisation Summer School. This will give you the chance to spend two days at the school with our staff who will help you become familiar with the school.
You will be given access to an online familiarisation programme that will support you step-by-step through the different types of test questions. This programme is only available to Pupil Premium students.
If you are Service Pupil Premium, and meet the qualifying score, you will place on the rank alongside Pupil Premium students. This means that you will be ranked above non-Pupil Premium students and given priority. We recognise that Stroud High School is currently the only Gloucestershire Grammar school that prioritises Service Pupil Premium in their admissions policy. For this reason, you are unfortunately not eligible for the Pupil Premium familiarisation programme.
You can get confirmation of your eligibility for Service Pupil Premium from your child’s primary school.
Free Entrance Test Familiarisation Materials & KS2 Support
The Grammar Schools of Gloucestershire are proud to be open and inclusive, and welcome pupils from all backgrounds.
To encourage even greater representation of children at the schools, we work in partnership with Atom Learning, the leading online Entrance Test preparation and Key Stage 2 learning platform, to provide students who are eligible for Pupil Premium with free Entrance Test preparation and KS2 learning resources.
Through their Atom account, children will access Entrance Test and KS2 practice questions, learning resources, mock tests and practice papers. We believe this is a good way to familiarise children with the style of questions they may be asked in the Entrance Test and help them build confidence ahead of their exam.
If your child has been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years, please CLICK HERE to fill in an online form. They will be given free access to Atom Home when their Pupil Premium status has been verified by their primary school.
