Pupil Premium - Reporting to Parents
The pupils premium is additional funding allocated to the school for pupils known to be eligible for
free school meals; those looked after by the local authority (currently or previously), or the children
of service families. The proportion of pupils who are known to be eligible for support from the pupil
premium is much lower in this school than the national average though it is steadily rising. Schools
are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they choose.

All children should be supported to succeed and fulfil their potential.
This funding allocation is ring-fenced each year and spent on the children for whom it is
intended.
Children who are underachieving are identified through pupil progress meetings and data
analysis.
We aim to help our children achieve the highest standards possible.
Low income families are not necessarily low ability families.
The whole staff is involved in directing the funding to where it is most needed
School leaders and, where appropriate, the SENCo, track and evaluate the outcomes of all
