Pupil Premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers. It is allocated to schools based on the number of children who come from low-income families. This includes pupils who have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years and pupils who have been looked after continuously for more than six months.

Last year we received £14,450 of Pupil Premium. This was made up of 8 pupils receiving £1,320 Pupil Premium and 1 pupil receiving £2,345 Pupil Premium plus.
The majority of this funding was used to finance a HLTA with experience across the primary age range to provide targeted and in class support.
Funding was also used to ensure that children receiving Pupil Premium funding were able to access activities within and outside the school day thus promoting wellbeing and engagement for these children.
Social and emotional support was provided for children through ‘friendship’ groups, individual and group support and pastoral support for families.
Strategies to promote regular school attendance were funded.
