What is Pupil Premium (PP)
Pupil Premium was introduced by the Government in 2011/12. It provides additional funding to help schools 'close the gap' between children who are vulnerable to underachievement and all other children at the school.
Parents and carers can help the school claim all the money they can by making sure that if their child is eligible for free school meals, they register them with us - even if they're not going to have a school lunch or if they are in Key Stage 1 they automatically get a free meal. Siblings of Pupil Premium children do not automatically quality and you have to register each child in the household as they start school.
The Pupil Premium funding the school receives and how it is spent is shown in the documents below.
