The pupil premium grant is allocated to schools for the specific purpose of raising the attainment of disadvantaged pupils.

It is intended to support eligible pupils of all abilities to reach their potential and to provide support for children of low income families, children who are, or have been, in the care of the local authority and those with parents in the armed forces.

Information for parents about Pupil Premium can be found by following this link to 'theschoolrun.com'.

Funding is based on children who have been eligible, and have registered, at any point in the last 6 years.

This additional funding is provided to schools to ensure provision is targeted at closing the gap between this group of pupils who may be disadvantaged in comparison to their peers, based on the analysis of outcomes over time.

^{At Sawley Infant and Nursery School, we want all children, including those identified as disadvantaged, to reach their full potential and be well prepared for their next stage in education. We recognise the need for a systematic, long term plan to diminish the difference in attainment. We will consider the challenges faced by all vulnerable pupils, including those who have an allocated social worker, identified additional needs or other challenging circumstances. Our supportive school structure, staff training, support for families, and personal development for all children is focussed on establishing quality engagement, learning and development. We aim for all our pupils to leave Sawley Infant and Nursery School with the necessary skills needed for their next steps and aim for them be in line with their peers academically. The activity we have outlined in this statement will support all pupils’ needs, with particular emphasis on access for those who are eligible for funding.}
