As in previous years it will be used primarily to fund staffing, training and resources for targeted intervention for groups and individuals and will be allocated to:

   

• Ensuring that the children who qualify for free school meals have their needs and any barriers to their learning clearly identified and their progress closely monitored through school
• Providing additional individual or small group learning for pupil premium children who need a boost to their learning in order to reach their potential: for example one - one reading, small group phonic, writing and maths tuition and this year  nurture  group and 1-1 support to meet social and  emotional needs and a  “Health Mentor” to support children’s  physical and social development
• Specific time is allocated to ensure that during the year all Pupil Premium children will receive planned support at a level appropriate to their learning needs.
• Supporting children’s learning and progress in the classroom by ensuring well trained support staff are available to support children’s needs and progress.
