What is the Pupil Premium?
The Pupil Premium is additional funding provided by the UK government to schools like ours. Its purpose is to ensure that all children, irrespective of their circumstances, have an equal opportunity to flourish academically and personally. The funding aims to bridge the attainment gap and empower every child to unlock their full potential.
