Pupil Premium Strategy 2025-26
Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is one way we address the inequalities between free school meals (FSM) or similarly disadvantaged children and their peers. In 2024-25, we have received £31,815 in Pupil Premium Grant to support this.
The first and most important measure for maximising pupil achievement is high-quality teaching. We support our teachers in many ways, for example with additional non-contact time, and challenge them to be ambitious for children’s learning, e.g. through Performance Management Objectives.
In addition, we provide targeted support for pupils based on their individual needs through intervention and booster sessions.
Some of our families deal with challenging circumstances including the following:
- Social, emotional and mental health issues
- Attendance
- Speech, language and communication
- Access to wider opportunities
- Parental engagement and support
The Pupil Premium Grant is a powerful tool in helping to address inequalities associated with differences in Cultural Capital. We use it to support Pupil Premium Grant children to play musical instruments, take part in all school trips and residential journeys and attend sports or other after-school clubs. We also use the Pupil Premium Grant to support children’s social, emotional and mental wellbeing through a robust pastoral offering such as ELSA sessions and nurture group and Forest School activities.
Aspects of our whole school approach to certain areas also ensure Pupil Premium Grant pupils benefit through access to non-fiction and classical literature, watch programmes such as ‘Newsround’ regularly and perform in a variety of settings.
