Pupil Premium Grant 2015 - 2016
The Pupil Premium Grant is given to schools to support children in narrowing the attainment gap between pupil groups. Common barriers for pupil premium children could be less support at home, weak language and communication skills, lack of confidence, more frequent behaviour difficulties and attendance and punctuality issues. Through targeted interventions we are supporting our pupil premium children to eliminate barriers to learning and progress. The majority of our children start school with low attainment on entry, however with targeted support we aim to make sure that our pupil premium children are given opportunities to make accelerated progress in order to reach age related expectations as they move through Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 in line with their peers.
The key indicator to identify children who are entitled to the pupil premium funding are those who have free schools meals. However as all children in infant schools are now having free school meals it is becoming more challenging to make sure that we access the funding for our pupil premium children that they are entitled.

Even if your child does not have the free school meal we can still claim the money.
