Pupil Premium Funding
Pupil Premium funding was launched by the Government in April 2011 in order to raise the attainment of pupils that may be vulnerable to underachievement, and close the gap between them and their peers. The funding is now allocated to children who are looked after by the local authority, those who have been eligible for Free School Meals at any point in the last six years and for those children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces.
The money is allocated to initiatives to ensure pupils reach their full potential, both academically and socially.
As a school, we decide how the Pupil Premium is allocated and we are accountable for the use of the funds. We have a responsibility to report on the progress of children receiving Pupil Premium and demonstrate how we are using the grant to have a positive impact.
Intent
We aim to provide opportunities for disadvantaged pupils to make the progress needed to reach their potential. Our disadvantaged pupils will be provided with targeted support to ensure they reach the level of attainment required and that they do so through meaningful, purposeful learning experiences. Attendance of our disadvantaged pupils will be developed through positive behaviour strategies and engagement with parents.
Quality First Teaching is key to helping our disadvantaged pupils succeed, along with targeted intervention that is precisely aimed at bridging gaps.
The plan focuses on the professional development of key staff so that pupils are in receipt of high-quality daily teaching.
Support staff are effectively used to provide intervention either as a stand-alone process or as a daily catch-up.

Sports Premium Funding
The Government has provides substantial funding to promote and develop primary school sports. It is jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport and goes directly to primary schools to be spent on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children in both the short term and long term.
Swimming
Sports Premium funding is also used to support swimming. At Whitehill Primary School, we use Cascades?? to complete our National Curriculum requirements for Swimming and Water Safety.
