Pupil Premium
The information below provides details of our strategy and use of 'Pupil Premium' funding, intended to improve educational outcomes for children.
| What is Pupil Premium? |
| Pupil Premium was introduced by the Government in April 2011. It was designed to give additional money to support schools in raising the attainment of children who receive free school meals and those children in local authority care. These groups of children have been identified nationally as achieving at a lower level than children from less disadvantaged backgrounds. For example, national figures show that 11 year olds who are eligible for Free School Meals are around twice as likely not to achieve Age Related Expectations in maths and English as other 11 year olds. |
