Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium is additional school funding for disadvantaged children. It is paid directly to your child's school to improve the quality of their education. At Priors Hall – a learning community, we aim to offer a good quality education to all children.
At Priors Hall – a learning community we use Pupil Premium in the following ways:
- We are committed to ‘narrowing the gap’ between all pupils and any specific cohort or group of pupils.
- We will ensure teaching and learning opportunities meet the needs of our pupils.
- We will ensure that appropriate provision is made for pupils who belong to vulnerable groups; this ensures that the needs of pupils are adequately assessed and addressed.
- We reserve the right to allocate the Pupil Premium to support any pupil or group of pupils we have legitimately identified as being disadvantaged.
- Funds will be allocated following an analysis which will identify priority groups or individuals.
- Not all eligible pupils will be in receipt of Pupil Premium interventions at one time.
