What is the Pupil Premium?
The pupil premium is allocated to children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for FSM in both mainstream and non-mainstream settings and children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months. Eligibility for the Pupil Premium was extended to pupils who have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last 6 years.
Principles
We ensure that teaching and learning opportunities meet the individual needs of the pupils in our care.
We ensure that appropriate provision is made for all pupils who belong to vulnerable groups, including those from low-income families who are disadvantaged.
Pupil premium funding will be allocated following a needs analysis which identifies priority classes, groups and individuals.
Key Priority
To narrow the disadvantage gap by addressing inequalities and raising the attainment of those pupils in low-income families.

Impact
Key Stage 1
Most children met and many exceeded their targets making good and often outstanding progress from their often low starting points.
Some children from low income families attained at a high level (2a and 3) exceeding their original targets to achieve this.
EYFS
This cohort had a significant number of emotional and physical needs. Through additional adult support they were more ready for their transition into the next year group.
