St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School

The Government allocates an amount of money to schools to support the most vulnerable children. This is known as Pupil Premium funding. The Government states ‘additional funding is given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.’ At St. Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School, we believe that all children have the right to a quality education which includes a range of experiences.  We aim to close the disadvantage gap by addressing inequalities and raising the attainment of those students in low-income families.

“Schools will have the freedom to spend the Premium, which is additional to the underlying schools budget, in a way they think will best support the raising of attainment for the most vulnerable pupils”. (DFE website)
