Premium Allocations
Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium is extra money for schools to help disadvantaged pupils of all abilities achieve their full potential. The amount of pupil premium funding schools receive is decided by how many disadvantaged pupils they have – schools then receive funding per pupil premium-eligible child.
The funding is intended to allow each school to make additional provision for children who are in receipt of free school meals, those who are looked after by the local authority and those whose parents are members of the armed forces and may, as a consequence of their parents’ placements, be subject to a number of school moves.
Schools must allocate spending across the following three key areas:
- Support high-quality teaching
- Provide targeted academic support
- Tackle non-academic barriers to academic success, such as difficulties with attendance, behaviour, and social and emotional wellbeing.
It is up to individual schools to decide how to use this funding to enhance the achievement of pupils and ensure the inclusion of pupils in enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities.
For the financial year 2024-25, our school will receive £14,800 in receipt of Pupil Premium Funding.

Sports Premium
The PE and Sport Premium is government funding provided to primary schools to enhance the quality of physical education (PE) and sport.
It aims to ensure all pupils have access to regular physical activity, promoting healthy lifestyles, improved well-being, and increased participation in sports.
Schools use the funding to develop sustainable improvements in PE provision, including investing in equipment, providing staff training, and offering a wider range of sporting opportunities. This supports pupils in developing essential skills, confidence, and a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity.

Information regarding spending in 2024-25 will be published by 31st July 2025.
