Pupil Premium Grant is additional funding provided by the government to improve the attainment of disadvantaged children.
Schools receive pupil premium for:
Schools themselves decide how to spend their pupil premium money, as the government feels they are best placed to identify what would be of most benefit to the children who are eligible.
In the academic year 2018-19 our school received £24,988 in pupil premium grant.
The main barriers to learning experienced by children for whom our school receives pupil premium grant are fine and gross motor skills, speech, language and communication skills and personal, social and emotional skills. To reduce the impact of these barriers to learning we have used our pupil premium grant to support them in the following ways:
The combined cost of this support = £ 24,360
As a result of this spending our pupil premium children are making good or better progress from their individual starting points. This includes pupil premium children who also have additional needs such as English as an additional language or special educational needs. (Currently 50% of our pupil premium children)

How will I know if my child is eligible for Pupil Premium?
From April 2018, free school meals and pupil premium were allocated to pupils with a family income under £7400 (net) per year.
Since September 2014, all children in Reception and Years 1 and 2 have automatically qualified for free school meals, regardless of their family income, but only the children who would qualify for free meals under the above income-based criteria will receive the pupil premium.
If your family income is below £7400 per year, it’s important that you let us know (even if you provide your child with a packed lunch), as this enables us to claim the pupil premium grant on behalf of your child.
