“The pupil premium grant provides funding to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in state-funded schools in England.” - DfE 2026.

We use our Pupil Premium allocation for a range of purposes designed to benefit those pupils who are deemed to be at a disadvantage due to family circumstances. 

We use the additional funding to employ and train staff members to support pupils' learning and purchase additional resources, particularly supporting key subjects such as English and Mathematics.  We also use it to enhance the wider curriculum through funding activities such as extracurricular clubs, trips and residential visits.

Funding is also available to support music tuition and providing enhanced cultural experiences for our pupils.​

Parents and carers with any concerns about the financial costs associated with the school are encouraged to speak to the Head in confidence.
