Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium

At Greenways Primary, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or financial circumstances. Our commitment to inclusion is at the heart of everything we do, and the Pupil Premium funding plays a crucial role in ensuring that all our students receive the support they need to thrive.

What is Pupil Premium?

The Pupil Premium is additional funding provided by the government to support disadvantaged students and close the achievement gap between them and their peers. This funding is allocated to schools based on the number of students who are eligible for free school meals, children in care, and children of armed forces personnel.

Our Commitment to Inclusion

At Greenways Primary, we use the Pupil Premium funding strategically to ensure that every child can achieve their full potential. Our inclusive approach encompasses a variety of targeted interventions and support mechanisms, aimed at addressing both academic and non-academic barriers to learning.
