Pupil premium
Schools receive additional funding for children who are in receipt of free school meals or who are under the care of the Local Authority. This funding is referred to as ‘pupil premium’ funding. Furthermore, we also receive a Pupil Premium for children of parents in the armed services. How this money is allocated is up to the individual school. Its purpose is to provide the children concerned with additional resources / support, to ensure they have every opportunity to make the national expected progress during their time at the school.

Pupil Premium Statement of Intent
At Greentrees, we want our pupils to achieve their very best, irrespective of their background or level of need. We want them to make good progress and achieve high levels of attainment across all subject areas. The successful implementation of our Pupil Premium Strategy is everyone’s responsibility.
While this strategy prioritises the needs and challenges faced by our disadvantaged learners, the activity planned in this statement is also intended to support the needs of all our pupils.
Our approach is underpinned by three core principles:.
- To ensure that all our pupils are engaged in challenging and interesting learning.
- To take prompt action at the first sign of slow progress or low attainment.
- To monitor the impact of provision and make changes, if required.
