What is Pupil Premium?

Pupil Premium is additional funding provided to schools by national government. 

It has been awarded to schools to help them to ‘narrow the gap’ in performance that exists nationally between vulnerable students and their peers. 

The level of funding allocated to schools is based upon the number of students who:

• are eligible for free school meals or have been eligible in the previous six years
• have been looked after, or are covered by a guardianship or residency order
• have been adopted from care
• have a parent serving in the armed forces

At our school, we want every child to have the same chance to do well. This is true no matter their background or personal situation. We believe all children should enjoy learning, feel safe, and be supported to reach their best. We understand that some children may face challenges that affect their learning, confidence, or attendance. We work to support these children early, while making sure that high-quality teaching is at the heart of everything we do.

You can view our Pupil Premium Strategy by clicking on the link in the attachments section on this page. This Strategy explains how much funding our school receives and how it is targeted to provide the best outcomes for our disadvantaged students.

All schools are required to report on the amount of funding received and how this is being used. The report is published by 31st December each year.
