Pupil Premium Grant
Schools recieve Pupil Premium (PPG) funding from the government for children who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM). More recently funding is available for pupils who are looked after, adopted from care or from service famillies.
Pupil Premium funding is received in addition to the school's delegated budget and is to be used to:
- Raise attainment
- Promote social skills
- Increase confidence and develop independent learning and positive behaviour
- Working towards increased pupil progress for those pupils
Not all children receiving Free Schools Meals will be in receipt of Pupil Premium intervention at any one time, however through our school's assessment and tracking procedures we will continue to monitor their progress.
Our pupil premium strategy was reviewed annually until July 2019.
We now have a 3 year Pupil Premium Strategy in place, as a result of recent Government advice.
