St Michael's Primary School, Withyham

THE GRANT

The Pupil Premium is a specific grant based on:

• Children registered eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) or at any point over the last 6 years (Ever 6)
• Looked after children (LAC)
• Children of parents currently serving in the armed forces.

The pupil premium is designed to narrow the potential academic gap and address the emotional and social well-being of these pupils. It is additional to main school funding and it will be used by this school to address any underlying inequalities between children eligible by ensuring that funding reaches the pupils who need it most.

SPORTS FUNDING

What is School Sports Premium?
The government is providing funding to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools.  This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – will be allocated to primary school head teachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE within their schools.  

What is the purpose of this funding?
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.  At St Michael's we recognise that PE plays an integral part in the well-being of all of our children.  We aim to incorporate physical education across our curriculum often linking it to our class themes where possible.  We offer wide and varied choice of extra-curricular activities run by qualified and experienced external agencies.  As we understand that leading a healthy and active lifestyle can have a positive impact on the concentration, learning and attitude of all children.
