Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium is additional funding provided by the Government to support pupils who may face barriers to learning, including children who are currently eligible for Free School Meals (FSM), have been eligible in the past six years, or are previously looked-after children.
The purpose of the funding is to help ensure that all pupils have the opportunity to achieve their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances.
For the financial year 2025–26, our school will receive £27,985 in Pupil Premium funding, including funding for previously looked-after children and service family children. Currently, 11% of our pupils are eligible for this support.
At our school, we carefully identify the individual needs of each eligible pupil and use the funding to provide targeted support that will have the greatest impact on their learning, wellbeing and personal development. As our number of eligible pupils is relatively small, we are able to tailor support to meet the specific needs of each child.
Interventions and support programmes are regularly reviewed and tracked throughout the year. Senior leaders monitor progress closely to ensure that the strategies in place are helping pupils to make strong progress and achieve their potential. Where an approach is not having the desired impact, it is adapted or replaced to ensure that pupils receive the support they need.
Our staff and governors are fully committed to removing barriers to learning, raising attainment, and ensuring that every child is given the best possible opportunity to succeed.
