Pupil, Sport and Covid-19 Catch Up Premiums
Please find details of how we have used the sport and pupil premium grants to improve outcomes for our pupils:
Pupil Premium Information
Pupil Premium is a funding allocated to schools by the Department of Education to increase social mobility and reduce the gap in performance between pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers. Its purpose is to raise attainment, accelerate progress and fulfill the achievement potential of all children. Schools receive funding for each disadvantaged pupil and can use the funding flexibly, in the best interests of eligible pupils.
It is up to schools to decide how to spend the Pupil Premium funding because they are best placed to assess what additional educational provision should be put in place to ensure maximum progress for all the children within their care. All schools are held accountable for how they have used the Pupil Premium funding and the impact it has had on the children’s learning.
Sports Premium
We are proud of the PE curriculum provision at our school and of the wealth of extra-curricular opportunities that we provide for our pupils.
Sports include football, hockey, basketball, netball, tag rugby and multi skills. We also have Sports Leaders in Year 6 to help organise key sporting events.
Our focus this year is to ensure children maintain their fitness gained in school over the lockdown periods. So that Covid-19 does not impact on children's physical ability.

- a £350 million National Tutoring Programme to provide additional, targeted support for those children and young people who need the most help, which includes:
- a schools programme for 5 to 16-year-olds – for more information, see the National Tutoring Programme FAQs
- a 16 to 19 tuition fund
- an oral language intervention programme for reception-aged children
