Pupil Premium funding is allocated via the Government specifically for children from low-income families who were eligible for free school meals, looked after children and those from families with parents in the armed forces.

Each individual school decides how their Pupil Premium is best spent to raise achievement and improve outcomes for the target pupils identified. Schools are however held accountable for how the funding is used and are expected to report to parents and the Governing Body on Pupil Premium expenditure. Pupil Premium funding is received retrospectively, based upon information supplied to the school by the Department for Education.

Our designated Pupil Premium School Governor is Mrs J Marsden.
