Pupil Premium
Since 2011, the Pupil Premium has provided extra funding to school aged children who are eligible for Free School Meals. This money allows schools to make extra provisions such as additional members of classroom staff, a greater variety of resources or small group learning sessions for children. The aim of this is to close the gap between disadvantaged young people and their more affluent peers.
The Pupil Premium is a government initiative and more information can be found here:

Aims
- The attainment gap between pupils receiving the Pupil Premium grant and the non Pupil Premium group will close by the time they finish Year 2 in reading, writing and maths. We aim for the gap in attainment to reduce in each year group as a result of accelerated progress through timely intervention.
- Pupils are engaged and demonstrate successful learning skills in all aspects of the curriculum
- Pupils demonstrate higher level thinking skills in independent learning.
