Pupil & Sport Premium
Pupil Premium
The government provide the Pupil Premium Grant to schools based on the number of children who receive Free School Meals (FSM) or who have received free school meals in the last 6 years, Looked After Children (LAC) and children from families whose parents are in the Armed Forces.
The intended effect of this funding is to accelerate progress and raise attainment.
Pupil Premium is allocated to schools and is clearly identifiable. It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium, allocated to schools per pupil, is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.
Detailed in the files below are annual strategies with details of the amount our school has received and how we plan to spend this money to support our pupil premium children and the impact it has had.
PE & Sports Premium
The government provides schools with additional funding to support the delivery and development of sporting activity in schools. The funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary schools to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children.
It can be used as follows:
-
hire qualified sports coaches to work with teachers
-
provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively
-
introduce new sports or activities and encourage more pupils to take up sport
-
support and involve the least active children by running or extending school sports clubs, holiday clubs and Change4Life clubs
-
run sport competitions
-
increase pupils’ participation in the School Games
-
run sports activities with other schools.
