Pupil Premium is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.

The aim of the Pupil Premium is to raise the attainment of children who are from lower income families.   Pupil premium funding is available to both mainstream and non-mainstream schools, like special schools and pupil referral units.

The vast majority (82%) of our pupils are eligible for Pupil Premium funding. Because of this, Pupil Premium, and how we support our ‘disadvantaged’ children and families, is a crucial part of the work that we do. 

The impact of Pupil Premium spend is evaluated and monitored by the Headteacher and Governors throughout the year. Pupil Premium priorities will be reviewed in line with the school improvement plan, school budget reports and feedback from pupils, staff and parents.

The information below gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant, how we allocate the funding we receive and our main objectives as a school with related outcomes.
