Our pupil premium provision ensure that, 'we inspire and nurture all'.

Pupil Premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England. It is intended to be used to fund interventions for pupils, drive up standards, provide pastoral care, support aspiration, and narrow the gap in attainment between the advantaged and the disadvantaged within each school’s community.
