Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium funding is given to schools to address underlying social inequalities, and is aimed at tackling disadvantage in children’s lives. Our school thinks very carefully about how best to spend this funding and monitors the impact of this spending thoroughly.

Our School

Typically children who qualify for pupil premium funding enter our school with low starting points compared to their non-pupil premium peers. Their Reception baseline assessments are therefore lower in all areas compared to their peers – this includes physical as well as academic areas of development. In addition to this, pupil premium pupils often also present with a lack of resilience and may need additional social and emotional support to make good progress.  School data indicates that there is a higher likelihood of a child going on to be diagnosed with a special educational need if they are eligible for pupil premium funding.
