The Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011. It is a budget that the school receives each financial year to support the progress and attainment of children from low income families who are currently known (or have been known over a 6 year period) to be eligible for Free School Meals. The Pupil Premium is also there to support children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months and those children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces.

PE and Sports Premium

The Primary PE and Sport Premium is a government initiative that aims to improve the quality of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools in England.  The initiative was introduced in 2013, and since then, schools have received significant additional PE funding to help them enhance their PE and sports provision.

The Department for Education (DfE) wants to ensure that every child has equal access to high-quality physical education and a broad range of opportunities to enjoy, experience, and participate in sport and physical activity. Schools are encouraged to deliver at least two hours of high-quality PE each week, a well-rounded extracurricular programme, and chances to participate in competitive sports. The overarching aim is to boost children’s physical health and wellbeing while supporting their personal development, which can have a positive impact on academic achievement.

This funding is for specific activities to support our pupils to catch up for lost teaching over the previous months, in line with the curriculum expectations for the next academic year.
