Pupil Premium Information

What is it?  

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011.  It is additional funding provided by the Government, which all schools receive for supporting disadvantaged children.  The aim of this funding is to ensure that these children benefit from the same opportunities as all other children.  It is designed to raise achievement and improve outcomes for eligible children.

There are three categories of children that qualify for Pupil Premium funding.  Children who are currently eligible for Free School Meals (or have been in the previous six years), Looked After Children (LAC) or Post Adoptive Children and Armed Forces Children.

Schools are free to spend the pupil premium funding as they see fit in order to support the children but we are accountable for how we have used the additional funding and it is important that we can demonstrate its impact.

Since 2012, we have been required to publish information online about how we have used the funding.  Please see the documents attached to this page for further details.

If you have any questions relating to Pupil Premium, please feel free to contact Mrs Kennedy, Office Manager or Mrs Ellel, Headteacher.
