What is the Pupil Premium Grant?
The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is additional funding given to schools to support pupils who may face disadvantage and help close the achievement gap.
Who is it for?
Pupils who:
- Have ever received free school meals (FSM)
- Are looked after or adopted from care
- Are from Service families
How is it used?
1. Teaching
- Staff training and professional development to improve teaching and learning for all pupils.
2. Academic Support
- Targeted help to overcome barriers to learning, such as tutoring or small group support.
3. Wider Approaches
- Breakfast clubs
- Music lessons
- Help with trip costs
- Speech and language therapy
These approaches help build confidence, resilience, and aspiration, and often benefit all pupils.
Accountability
We publish an annual Pupil Premium Strategy and Impact Statement so:
- Parents understand how the funding supports pupils
- Governors can review evidence-based decisions
