Premium Allocations

Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and in 2012–13 individual schools were allocated funding for children from low-income families who were eligible for free school meals, looked after children and those from families with parents in the Armed Forces.

In our school, pupil premium funding is used to overcome key barriers to learning created by deprivation such as:

  • low levels of language and literacy skills on entry into school, particularly in some boys
  • a requirement for social and emotional support to build confidence, skills and drive to aspire higher and attain greater depth standards
  • absence rates and learning gaps of some groups of pupils require support

Our pupil premium strategy is reviewed termly by the curriculum committee of the governing body and senior staff. The date of our next strategy review is May 2021.

Catch-up Premium

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the UK government has provided a catch-up premium fund to schools to assist in supporting children with the learning that they may have missed. For the year, 2020-21, our school was allocated £10,160. You can read about our intended use of this fund and the impact it has here:

Sports Premium

The Government is providing funding of £150 million per annum for academic years until 2020 to provide new, substantial primary school sport funding. This funding is being jointly provided by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport, and will see money going directly to primary school headteachers to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all their children.

The sport funding can only be spent on sport and PE provision in schools.

You can view or download our Sports Premium allocation and find out how this has been used at our school.

At West Rainton Primary School, we take swimming seriously, using the ASA schools’ swimming awards system to assess and motivate our pupils to reach national standards by the end of Year 6. Please note, that swimming provision was halted from March 2020 as pools were closed. You can see our latest swimming attainment report here:
