The pupil premium grant is extra funding provided to schools in order to help close the gap between the outcomes of children who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) and their peers. You can find our strategy statement below, which explains how we use this funding.
The Sport Premium Funding is being used to develop and add to the PE and sports activities that our school already offers and make improvements that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years. This is being achieved through money being spent to hire qualified sports coaches to come into school and run PE lessons, provide PE leads who support PE throughout the school, provide before and after school sports clubs, allow children to access taster sessions for a variety of sports and arrange for additional swimming lessons for children in Year 6 not reaching the national expectation of swimming 25 metres.
