Pupil Premium is additional funding that the academy receives to support children's achievement. The targeted and strategic use of Pupil Premium supports us in achieving our aim of helping every child to achieve their full potential. We aim to narrow gaps in achievement between different groups within the academy and in comparison with national averages.

The range of Pupil Premium funded provision will/could include:

• Achievement and standards work including additional class based or intervention work to accelerate progress of targeted groups or individuals.
• Learning Support to enable children to fully access learning and accelerate progress where there are specific barriers.
• Pastoral work, which aims to raise self esteem, extend personal skills and support children to make appropriate choices in order to maximise learning opportunities.
