How we spend the Pupil Premium funding:

As a school we carefully consider various strategies for the best use of this funding and the individual needs of the children.

Some of the ways in which we spend the Pupil Premium grant on eligible pupils includes:

• Funding teaching assistants in KS1 and KS2
• Daily one-to-one reading
• Additional teacher to work with smaller groups providing targeted support and feedback
• Extra one-to-one, or small-group, support for children within or outside of the classroom
• Investing in resources, including targeted interventions, that boost children’s learning
• Providing opportunities for curriculum enrichment, including music lessons and school clubs
• Contributing to school trips and residential visits
• Providing daily milk
• Funding the 'Drawing and Talking' counselling sessions, delivered by a trained teaching assistant
• Funding additional nurture provision at break times and lunchtimes to support social skills and maintain good self-esteem
