SPP resource directory
- The West Yorkshire Service Pupil Premium Resource Directory has been produced as part of the West Yorkshire Armed Forces Covenant Project. The Directory pulls together information from the Department for Education, Ministry of Defence, Service Children in State Schools, and the Service Children’s Progression Alliance. It has been created to support schools develop their understanding of the Armed Forces Covenant, the Armed Forces Community, and the Service Pupil Premium.
- Shropshire Council has a portal for Armed Forces support for use by both the Armed Forces Community and public services. One section provides clarity over the purpose of the SPP and recommended uses, pointing to official government advice.
Sharing best practice
- Local schools in Gloucestershire worked together to set up a network for sharing resources, training and ideas around helping Service children to succeed in education. A strong sharing culture was created and a better understanding of approaches and how to nurture Service pupils grew across the cluster. This particularly benefitted smaller schools with less funding and fewer Service children.
