From September 2020 additional funds have been made available, in instalments, payable across the academic year to support ‘catch up’ and ‘recovery’ following the national lockdown and partial re-opening of schools.

The following strategy was based around guidance provided by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) which advocated spend around three key areas: teaching & whole school strategies; targeted intervention and support; wider strategies. This research document and guidance can be found here.

Grant Spending

Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium is specific, additional funding that the government provides to schools to support the education of pupils who are eligible for free school meals, are looked after children or whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces.

The level of funding and the eligibility criteria change each financial year and the Department for Education has published details on its website here. Schools decide how to spend this money.

At Benton Park Primary School the Finance and Staffing Committee and Curriculum and Performance Committee have responsibility for making these decisions and monitoring their impact, alongside the Senior Leadership Team.

The pupil premium strategy below explains how we plan to spend Pupil Premium funding and its intended impact.

PE Sports Premium

Funding is made available each year to support the development of sport and physcial education. The Sport and PE premium gran is spend across five key areas.:

1) The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity;

2) The profile of sport and physcial activity is being raised across school as a tool for whole school improvement;

3) Increased confidence, knowledge and skills of all staff in teaching PE and sport;

4) Broader experience of a range of sports and activities offered to all pupils;

5) Increased participation in competitive sport
