20. Pupil Premium Purpose:
This is additional funding that your child’s school can claim.  It is available for any child who qualifies for free school meals due to their family income.
The money can be used by the school to help to provide more support to the children, to help develop children’s academic progress, their self esteem or their social and emotional skills.

What does this mean for Scholar Green Primary School?
