Wider strategies for current academic year
Measure |
Activity |
To improve attendance of disadvantaged children. |
Attendance for disadvantaged children is generally lower than for non-disadvantaged children, therefore we are spending more money for administration to ensure that we improve poor attendance. |
To improve parental engagement |
Providing a parent support worker and a pupil support worker who work together to support the families |
To aid pupils in dealing with social and emotional difficulties |
Providing a room where children can go to complete their work if they are struggling to access the learning in the classroom |
To provide disadvantaged pupils with the opportunity to access remote educations |
Purchase additional laptops that can be given to disadvantaged pupils in the event of whole or partial school closure as children from disadvantaged families will be disproportionately affected by lockdown. |
To provide disadvantaged children with opportunities to experience extra-curricular activities including residential visits and learning outside the classroom |
Support class trips to enrich the curriculum for all pupils. |
To improve their readiness to learn |
Ensuring pupils arrive on time, we are funding taxis and providing free places at our breakfast club. |
To provide lunchtime support for our vulnerable pupils. |
Additional adults employed for lunchtimes to run ‘rainbow club’. |
Barriers to learning these priorities address |
Improving attendance and readiness to learn for the most disadvantaged pupils. Increase number of laptops for disadvantaged families home learning. |
Projected spending |
£53,700 |

Free School Meal Eligibility
Are you in receipt of any of the benefits listed below? If so, your child could be entitled to free school meals and attract the pupil premium - additional resources for the school.
Income Support
Income-Based Jobseekers Allowance
Support under part VI of the Immigration & Asylum Act 1999
Child Tax Credit - provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual income (as assessed by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) that does not exceed £16,190
Guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
Income-Related Employment & Support Allowance
Working Tax Credit 'run-on' - the payment someone may receive for a further four weeks after they stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit.
If your child is in early years or years 1 or 2, it is important to let the school know if your child qualifies for free school meals as this allows the school to access additional resources, the 'pupil premium', which can be used for extra support. You will need to provide evidence of the benefits that you receive to the school office for checking.
If your child is in years 3-6, you must apply for free school meals online
The office staff will be happy to assist you with any queries. All information is handled in strictest confidence.
