In the school year 2020-21 the school received the following sums of money:

• Pupil Premium                       £277,932.52
• Recovery Premium                             £52,000
• Total PP Income 2020/21     £329,932.52

Pupil premium money is received by the school for any child who has been in receipt of free school meals, is a Council looked after child or is the child of a serving member of the armed forces. It is used to enhance these children’s educational experiences as they are deemed to be disadvantaged by circumstances out of their control.

Catch up funding has been provided to enable extra strategies and support to be put in place for those who have suffered most learning loss from COVID lockdowns and illness.  It is aimed at those for whom we are in receipt of pupil premium, but is not limited to this group

Following analysis conducted throughout 2020/21 the main areas to address with this funding were the gaps between Pupil premium and non-pupil premium students in terms of:

• Academic Interventions;
• Welfare Interventions;
• Literacy Interventions
