Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium at St Anne’s Catholic Primary School
The Pupil premium is additional funding of up to £1455 to support your child’s education. At St Anne’s we use the extra funding to provide pupils with fair and equal opportunities so that they achieve well in all areas of the school.
How we use Pupil Premium funds at St Anne’s
Our aim is to provide first class education to develop and fulfil the potential of all pupils in our care, and faith development of our pupils is of paramount importance.
In our school with Jesus in our hearts we learn and grow...Let trust, respect and love live here'
At St Anne’s we are passionate about the educational and personal development of your child. Pupil Premium funds are used to help the pupils in lots of ways including academic and non-academic areas. These include:
· Progress and Attendance
Staff help the progress and support of Pupil Premium pupils, they also help promote excellent attendance at school, as attendance is strongly linked with academic progress.
· Progress of all Pupil Premium pupils, especially in English and Maths
This includes smaller intervention group sizes, additional staffing, 1:1 intervention opportunities, and educational equipment. Teaching Assistants help with pupil progress alongside the first class teaching in our school.
· English and Maths
Funding is used to help with the delivery of English and Maths skills of Pupil Premium pupils in our school. It is also used to help with the provision of home learning for pupils as effective homework is strongly linked to academic progress.
· Pupil Wellbeing
Funding with Uniform, where needed, so that the individual needs of our pupils are met.
· School educational visits and retreats.
This will make sure that pupils have access to opportunities to help their educational and personal development.
