All schools receive additional funding known as Pupil Premium Funding.
Pupil premium is a funding initiative designed to provide support for children from low income families to ensure they make good progress and achieve their expected attainment. It is allocated to enable the attainment gap between disadvantaged children and their more economically advantaged peers to be narrowed. Pupil Premium Funding is to be used to put in place strategies which help raise the attainment of schools’ most vulnerable children diminishing the differences between them and other pupils.
A schools’ allocated pupil premium funding is calculated by the number of children in the school who are eligible for free school meals,  who are looked after in care or from an Armed forces family. Each year we analyse the impact of our planned spend and use this analysis to inform our future plans.
The Pupil Premium is spent in a specific way to ensure entitled pupils receive additional support and use of facilities in the hope of ensuring these pupils achieve their expected attainment. We use a range of strategies to support children, an example of these may be through:
