Clubs
In April 2011, Pupil Premium funding was introduced. This is “additional funding given to schools to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and to close the gap between them and their peers.” Funds are paid directly to school and the amount received is based on the number of children who receive free school meals. The school has a yearly plan for how to spend Pupil Premium money which focuses on the needs of the children, both academically and socially and emotionally, including contributions to trips, emotional and social support and one-to-one time to set targets with their class teacher.
