The Pupil Premium Grant the school receives is used to support all the above activities.
They are not solely aimed at PP children as a lot of our children have additional needs, but they
are given priority.
All are priority needs of the school and are important in ensuring that PP children are given as
much opportunity as possible to ‘close the gap’ on their peers
