Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium allocation made to our school for the financial year 2019/20 was £28,620.

Pupil Premium is allocated to all children who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals or have been eligible at any point in the last six years. It is also allocated to children who have been looked after for 1 day or more, are adopted or have care under a Special Guardianship Order or Residence Order. The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the currently underlying inequalities between children eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.
The Pupil Premium is allocated to schools and is clearly identifiable. It is for schools to decide how to spend Pupil Premium, allocated as they are best placed to assess what is needed. However, they will be held accountable for how they have used this additional funding to support pupils from low-income families. New measures will be included in the performance tables that will capture the achievement of those deprived pupils covered by the Pupil Premium. Schools are also required to publish online information about how they have used the Pupil Premium. This will ensure that parents and others are made fully aware of the attainment of pupils covered by the Premium.
