Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011. The funding is provided in addition to the main Special School funding from the LA and is intended to help disadvantaged pupils to ‘close the gap’ and to raise attainment and improve progress.
Children who are eligible include:
- Pupils who have been registered for Free School Meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years
- Children previously looked after by a local authority or other state care, including children adopted from state care or equivalent from outside England and Wales
- Children of armed services personnel.
Sports Premium Funding
The government is providing additional funding to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. The documents, below, detail how Paternoster have used that funding to improve sports education for primary aged children.
For academic year 2023-2024 we had 6 Year 6 pupils who did not meet the statutory requirements for swimming at the end of Key Stage 2 but made excellent progress towards personalised swimming targets. Further information can be found in our Sports Premium Overview for 2024-2025.
