Pupil Premium Statement
2018/19 Academic Year

Pupil Premium is an additional grant given to schools annually, based on the number of pupils registered as either Looked After or entitled to Free School Meals. It is intended that schools use this to narrow the attainment gaps of vulnerable groups of children.

The anticipated allocation of Pupil Premium Funds in the Academic Year 2018-19 is £75,883

Below is a breakdown of how the school intends to use the grant:
