Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium is an allocation of additional funding provided to schools to support specific groups of children who are vulnerable to under achievement. These include pupils who are entitled to free school meals, children who are looked after by a local authority and children of parents who are in the armed forces.

A brief overview of what was achieved by vulnerable learners by the end of Key Stage2 (Year 6) can be seen in the table below. Vulnerable in this context means those children in receipt of the Pupil Premium Grant because they are entitled to or have been entitled to free school meals.

Sports Premium

The PE and Sport Premium is additional funding provided by the government to help schools improve the quality of physical education, physical activity, and sport. At our school, we use this funding to enhance opportunities for all pupils, ensuring they develop healthy lifestyles, increase participation in competitive sport, and build a lifelong love of physical activity. The premium allows us to invest in specialist coaching, new equipment, staff training, and a wider range of sporting experiences. By doing so, we aim to raise achievement in PE, encourage teamwork and resilience, and support the physical and mental wellbeing of every child.
