What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium is additional funding provided to schools to help disadvantaged pupils achieve their full potential. It is allocated for students who are eligible for free school meals, have been eligible in the past six years, are looked-after, or are from service families. We use this funding to remove barriers to learning, provide targeted support, and ensure every pupil can access the same opportunities. Our aim is to improve outcomes, raise aspirations, and support the wellbeing and progress of all eligible students. The funding is not attached to individual students but is determined by the total number of eligible students in each school and each school determines how this funding is to be used by developing a Pupil Premium Strategy

Jy Taylor, Headteacher & Pupil Premium Lead
In realising our intent we will:
-
Believe in students and expect a lot
-
Involve parents
-
Never assume those students experiencing disadvantage face the same barriers, or have any less potential to succeed, treating every young person’s circumstances individually
-
Never pity or patronise those students experiencing disadvantage
-
Establish a consistent, clear approach to the way that funds are allocated and support given
-
Constantly seek out new ideas and share the very best practice
-
Monitor the impact of any intervention
