Where pupil’s attainment was good, the funding was used to enrich their learning through:
- Funding residential and educational visits
- Funded extra-curricular clubs and activities
- Challenge groups to ensure pupils fulfil their academic potential (Literacy & Maths)
- Breakfast club
- Tutti-frutti and Cool Milk
- Music tuition
- Other areas specific to the individual needs of a pupil eligible for pupil premium funding.
Where pupil’s attainment was below the national expectations, the funding was used to support the pupils learning needs through:
- Intervention groups (Reading, Writing & Maths)
- Other areas specific to the individual needs of a pupil eligible for pupil premium funding.
