Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and in 2012–13 individual schools were allocated funding for children from low-income families who were eligible for free school meals, looked after children and those from families with parents in the Armed Forces. If your child is eligible for free school meals, they will also be entitled to a sum of money paid to school to boost their learning, this is currently £1345. If a child has a parent who is in the Armed Forces, School receive £310 to support them. In addition, if a child is Looked After by the Local Authority School receive £1900 to support their education. If you think your child is entitled to any of these payments then please contact the School office.

Sports Premium
Sport Premium is an amount of money which the government has agreed to allocate to schools. The funding amount schools receive is based upon the number of children in Year 1 to 6 they have in January of that year. The sport premium is to be used to increase the quality and breadth of PE and Sport provision, and increase participation in PE and Sport. Prime Minister David Cameron announced in February 2014 that the Government will commit funding for the Primary PE and Sport Premium to 2020 if re elected.

Catch Up Premium
Children across the country have experienced unprecedented disruption to their education as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Those from the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds will be among those hardest hit.
We know that we have the professional knowledge and expertise in the education system to ensure that children recover and get back on track. Returning to normal educational routines as quickly as possible will be critical to our national recovery.
The government has announced £1 billion of funding to support children to catch up. This includes a one-off universal £650 million catch-up premium for the 2020 to 2021 academic year to ensure that schools have the support they need to help all children make up for lost teaching time.
