Pupil Premium
In 2011, the Government introduced Pupil Premium Funding to raise achievement among disadvantaged children. Pupil Premium Funding is allocated to children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for free school meals (FSM) in both mainstream and non-mainstream settings and children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months. The Government decided that eligibility for the Pupil Premium Funding in 2012-13 was to be extended to pupils who have been eligible for FSM at any point in the last 6 years.
We allocate our Pupil Premium funding to various initiatives and provisions to ensure pupils reach their full academic and social potential. We have identified the following potential barriers to education achievement: emotional wellbeing, lack of motivation or self belief, sense of belonging, gaps in their learning mainly due to the COVID 19 pandemic, poor social and emotional skills in the playground. Our strategy aims to address these areas and reduce these barriers for the children.

Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium (PP) Grant and how we allocate the funding. This is a 3 year strategy which is updated regularly to review the provision and reflect any changes.
