Pupil Premium

What is Pupil Premium? 

Schools are allocated a sum of money called the Pupil Premium to support children who require additional help with their work.  The allocation is calculated according to the intake of the school and the children that have been in receipt of Free School Meals in the last six years or have been in care for six months or longer. At Sacred Heart RC Primary School all governors and staff share a strong commitment to doing our utmost to remove any barriers that might hinder a child’s development. We are determined to close any gap in attainment between those children eligible for pupil premium and other children. We intend to maximise the achievement of all our children.

 

The Pupil Premium is funding in addition to the school's budget.  Schools are free to decide how to allocate this funding to best support the raising of attainment for the most vulnerable pupils.
