How the funding for Pupil Premium is used is decided by the leaders of the school. The strategy which is decided upon is based on a defined 'menu of approaches' set out in guidance provided by the government.

There are 3 areas in which funding can be spent:

1. High-quality teaching, such as staff professional development
2. Targeted academic support, such as tutoring
3. Wider strategies to address non-academic barriers to success in schools, such as attendance, behaviour, and social and emotional support

We use evidence-rich reports, such as those written by the Education Endowment Foundation, to decide on the best approaches for our children and review the impact of these on an annual basis.
