Pupil Premium
At the school, we have high aspirations and ambitions for our children and we believe that no child should be left behind. We strongly believe that it is not about where you come from but your passion and thirst for knowledge, and your dedication and commitment to learning that make the difference between success and failure, and we are determined to ensure that our children are given every chance to realise their full potential. Pupil premium funding represents a significant proportion of our budget and this policy outlines how we will ensure it is spent to maximum effect.
Our Pupil Premium strategy is reviewed annually in Summer term where the context of the school and challenges faced are analyzed to ensure the Pupil Premium Grant is narrowing the gap between pupil groups and that all children are high attaining.

This funding will support the school to enhance provision for your child too.
