Pupil Premium

BACKGROUND:

The pupil premium gives schools extra funding to rise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils from reception to year 11. The government introduced a fund of £625 million in April 2011 to give schools £400 per year for:

every child currently registered as eligible for free school meals
children who have been looked after for 6 months or longer

From April 2012, pupil premium funding was also extended to:

all children eligible for free school meals at any point in the past 6 years

2025-2026

This year we are using our Pupil Premium funding of £17,780 to remove barriers to learning and enable them to make the best progress they are capable and indeed deserve to make regardless of any potential obstacles in their lives.
