Overview of Pupil Premium Funding
The Department for Education (DfE) provides additional funding, known as Pupil Premium, in order that specific groups of learners aged between 5 and 16 years, can be supported in their progress and attainment.
The pupil premium funding is not necessarily intended to be specifically allocated to individual learners and schools have the freedom to decide how it can best be spent on eligible learners. The impact of individual sums may be limited, therefore at Westhaven, we have pooled much of the allocated monies to maximise the impact on the learners’ progress and attainment and wider curricular experiences.
