The Pupil Premium is a Government initiative which provides additional funding to schools in order to raise the attainment of children from backgrounds considered to be disadvantaged. The aim of this funding is to try to close the ‘achievement gap’ by enabling schools to directly support individual students appropriately.

Schools are required to provide annual reports to parents summarising the allocation and use of the Pupil Premium funding received each year. Our most recent reports can be found below.

• Pupil Premium Plan 2024-25 which outlines our Pupil Premium Policy, Grant Expenditure Review & Spending Plan.
