Pupil Premium

This money is used to provide interventions and support for children who have been in receipt of free school meals during the last 6 years, Looked after Children, Service Children, adopted and vulnerable children. 

We have a clear process for identifying relevant interventions for different children, through regular meetings of our Inclusion Team which includes Headteacher, SENDCo, Governor and other relevant staff. All teachers contribute to the review.

Some examples of how we allocate PPG is detailed below, for a full breakdown of the use of the Pupil Premium money, please see Pupil Premium Strategy document.  Please note that this is continually being reviewed, monitored and updated.

• Weekly Forest Schools sessions, including training for staff and maintenance of wooded area.
