Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium is funding to improve education outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in schools in England.  Evidence shows that disadvantaged children generally face additional challenges in reaching their potential at school and often do not perform as well as other pupils.

School leaders are best placed to assess their pupils' individual needs and use the funding to improve attainment, drawing on evidence of effective practice.  Evidence suggests that pupil premium spending is more effective when schools use a tiered approach, targeting spending across 3 areas, with a particular focus on teaching.

1. Teaching

Investing in high quality teaching, including professional development and training for all staff.

2. Targeted academic support

Additional support for some pupils focused on their specific needs.

3. Wider approaches

Support for non-academic issues that impact success in school, such as attendance, behaviour and social and emotional challenges.

Please visit each school website for details on how they are using this funding.
