Pupil Premium Funding at Folksworth Church of England Primary School
Through use of the Pupil Premium Funding Folksworth C of E Primary School aims to:
- To narrow the gap in attainment between pupils receiving pupil premium and other pupils.
- To provide teaching, learning and technological resources, materials and training to tackle specific areas of underperformance through targeted intervention and additional support.
- To ensure equal and fair access, opportunities and experience for all children both within the curriculum and for trips and extra-curricular provision.
- To provide effective and responsive pastoral care and address specific behavioural and attendance issues.
- To meet the needs of families in difficult and challenging circumstances.
- To provide additional external support for pupils with behavioural and attendance issues.
Folksworth C of E Primary School remains committed to spending this money in order to impact the targeted children in such a way that it does not openly discriminate against others. Initiatives primarily designed to impact on PP children are open to all children who are deemed to have the same need. In addition to direct spending on PP children much of this spending will also directly or indirectly impact positively across the whole school.
Please see the PDF below which illustrates how we have allocated our pupil spend.
