Pupils premium
If a child has been eligible for Free School Meals at any point in the last six years, the school will be entitled to Pupil Premium funding for that child.
The Pupil Premium is extra money for schools to help disadvantaged pupils of all abilities achieve their full potential. The amount of pupil premium funding schools receive is decided by how many disadvantaged pupils they have – schools then receive funding per pupil premium-eligible child.
This funding contributes towards the salaries of SEND Support teachers and Learning Mentor as well as additional resources for pupils to access.
The report indicates how school spent the allocated funds in the last academic year.

How do I know if I am eligible for Free School Meals / Pupil Premium?

What to do if you think your child is eligible for Free School Meals / Pupil Premium but is not recognised as such on our system ?
Explain to the office why you believe your child is eligible, and ask for the school to check or update their Free School Meals record on the system. The school can run an eligibility check if you provide details such as name, date of birth and National Insurance number. We may ask you to complete or resubmit a Free School Meals application so that the record is correctly linked for both FSM and Pupil Premium funding. If there is still a problem after this, parents can contact the council’s Free School Meals team directly to confirm eligibility and resolve any mismatch between benefit records and the school’s management system

Sport premium
This is additional funding was initially provided by the government from the ‘sugar tax’ levy to tackle child obesity and encourage greater participation in sports activities.
Our funding is used to employ a sports coach to provide children with high-quality PE provision and opportunities to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities. We regularly participate in Tower Hamlets inter school sports competitions for boys, girls and mixed team events.
The funding also contributes, in part, to the cost of swimming instruction for Years 3 and 4 pupils.
