Pupil Premium
We have high aspirations for all the children in our school community and believe that all children should be given the opportunity to reach their full potential. We seek, as a school community, to provide personalised learning opportunities and targeted support to allow every child to flourish.
As we recognise that not all pupils who are academically or socially disadvantaged are registered for free school meals, we reserve the right to allocate Pupil Premium funding to support any pupil, or group of pupils, identified by the school as being at a significant disadvantage.
In order to meet the above requirements, the LAB will ensure that provision is made which secures the teaching and learning opportunities that meet the needs of all pupils. They will feed back to the Trust.
Our priorities at Pentland Primary School are:
- Improved attendance and punctuality of disadvantaged children.
- Improved % of disadvantaged pupils achieving national age-related expectations (including greater depth) at the end of all key stages, particularly the end of KS2 Gap between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils to have closed.
- Disadvantaged pupils’ experiences to have been enriched and broadened.
- Parental engagement to have improved.
- Disadvantaged pupils to have been supported in maintaining their well-being and mental health. Disadvantaged pupils to have strategies which enable them to recognise their emotional state and to self-regulate when necessary.
Pupil Premium Strategy 2024-2025
Covid Catch Up Premium Plan
In June 2020 the government announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up on missed learning caused by coronavirus (COVID19). This is especially important for the most vulnerable pupils and pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds who we know have been most affected. This funding includes a one-off universal £650 million catch-up premium for the 2020 to 2021 academic year to ensure that schools have the support they need to help all pupils make up for missed learning.

Sports Premium
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 schools 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.
