PUPIL PREMIUM
The Pupil Premium funding that is received by the school annually is used in a variety of ways in order to improve pupil attainment and to help overcome any barriers to learning. This money is sent to schools based on the numbers of pupils in the school who are eligible for Free School Meals or who have been eligible within the last 6 years and also children who are 'looked after', have been adopted or have 'special guardianship orders' or are from service families.
Schools are responsible for how they use the additional funding to support pupils from low-income families and the other target groups. Those from disadvantaged backgrounds often do not do as well as their more advantaged peers and the funds are aimed at helping to bridge the gap and remove any potential barriers to learning. This money is allocated to initiatives to ensure pupils reach their full potential, both academically and socially.
At Wolston St Margaret's C of E Primary School we do all we can to support all of our pupils in making the very best progress. We do this by providing high quality classroom teaching supplemented by interventions to support vulnerable learners as and when required.
