Pupil Premium
The Government provides academies and schools with additional funding to help reduce inequalities and gaps in attainment between those students who are on free school meals (FSM) and their peers.
This funding is called the Pupil Premium.
The Government also provides academies and schools with funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport they offer. This means that the premium should develop or add to the PE and sport activities that we already offer or to make improvements that will benefit pupils joining the school in future years. This funding is called Sport Premium.
Every academy and school can select how they choose to use their allocations assessing what additional provision should be made for students. Every school needs to be held accountable for how this money is spent and this is displayed here on our website.
Pupil Premium Funding for the academic year 2022-2023 is £84,150.
It is the school’s intention to continue with many of the successful actions and interventions developed.
The money will be used on intervention teaching, improving chances, improving engagement, improving attendance and additional support.

Sports Premium Funding
Schools have the flexibility to use the Sports Premium funding to best support their PE and sport provision. For 2024–2025, our aim is to improve the quality of teaching, increase participation, and promote healthy, active lifestyles across the school.
Our planned use of the funding aligns with the five key indicators from the Department for Education:
-
Increasing staff confidence and skills in teaching PE – through training and support from specialists.
-
Engaging all pupils in regular physical activity – increasing opportunities for daily physical activity.
-
Raising the profile of PE and sport across the school – using sport to support whole-school development.
-
Offering a broader range of sports and activities – to engage more pupils in physical activity.
-
Increasing participation in competitive sport – through internal and external competitions.
These priorities guide our decisions to ensure a lasting impact on pupils’ physical and emotional wellbeing.
