Objectives for using the extra funding provided through the pupil premium grant.

The Pupil Premium will be used to provide additional educational support to improve the progress and to raise the standard of achievement for pupils
The funding will be used to narrow and close the gap between the achievement of pupils who are socially disadvantaged and their peers
We ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups, this includes ensuring that the needs of socially disadvantaged pupils are adequately assessed and addressed
In making provision for socially disadvantaged pupils, we recognise that not all pupils who receive free school meals will be socially disadvantaged
We also recognise that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged are registered or qualify for free school meals. We reserve the right to allocate Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil or groups the school has legitimately identified as socially disadvantaged.
Pupil Premium funding will be allocated following a needs analysis which will identify priority classes, groups and individuals. Limited funding and resources means that not all children receiving free school meals will be in receipt of pupil premium interventions at one time
Part of the funding may be used to promote wider outcomes for children such as increasing the range of educational activities available to pupils. This may include extra trips/visits or extra resources (including ICT programs).
