At St Augustine of Canterbury RC Primary School, we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to achieve their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances. The Pupil Premium Grant is additional funding provided by the government to help schools improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils and to close gaps in attainment and opportunity.
We use Pupil Premium funding strategically to provide targeted academic support, high-quality teaching, and wider opportunities that help pupils flourish both academically and personally. Our approach is centred on removing barriers to learning, raising aspirations and ensuring that all children can fully participate in school life.
Funding may be used to support a range of initiatives, including:
High-quality teaching and learning opportunities.
Targeted interventions to support progress and attainment.
Pastoral and well-being support.
Attendance and engagement initiatives.
Access to educational visits, enrichment activities and extracurricular opportunities.
Resources and support that enable all pupils to participate fully in school life.
As a school with a strong Catholic ethos, we believe in the dignity and potential of every child. We are committed to ensuring that children eligible for Pupil Premium receive the support, encouragement and opportunities they need to succeed. Through high expectations, nurturing relationships and ambitious provision, we strive to help every pupil develop confidence, resilience and a lifelong love of learning.
