The Government currently provides additional funding to all schools for children in certain key groups. Schools use this funding to enhance the achievement of pupils in these groups and ensure the inclusion of these pupils in all enrichment and extra-curricular opportunities.

This funding is known as the Pupil Premium Grant and is intended to allow each school to make additional provision for children who are in receipt of free school meals, those who are looked after by the local authority and those who have a Special Guardianship Order, and those whose parents are members of the armed forces and may, as a consequence of their parents’ placements, be subject to a number of school moves.

As all pupils benefit from the school receiving this pupil premium funding, it is really important that school are aware of any child that may be entitled to pupil premium funding even if they don't take a school meal and even if they are in Lower School and therefore are currently entitled to Universal Infant Free School Meals.  If you are unsure if your child is entitled to free school meals, please contact the school office on 01642 770540 or email office@priorywoodsschool.com

For the financial year 2024-2025, we will receive £92,840 of Pupil Premium funding.

Please see the Pupil Premium strategy document below for how we plan to use this funding. The impact of these strategies will be closely monitored by the school’s Senior Leadership Team.
