Each year, the school receives government funding specified as “Pupil Premium”. The Pupil Premium is paid to the local authority and is allocated to children who have been eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) at any point in the last 6 years, children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months, children who have been adopted and those who have at least one parent who currently serves in the armed services. 

Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility. However, schools will be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding. We are required to publish online information about how we have used the Premium. 

Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding:
