The pupil premium is an additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.

Following the guidance produced by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF), St. Margaret's uses an approach to Pupil Premium which focuses on improving teaching, targeted academic support and other wider strategies.

Teaching – This is our top priority for Pupil Premium spending and includes professional development to ensure that every teacher is supported to keep improving.

Targeted academic support – Linking structured one-to-one or small group intervention by teachers and teaching assistants to classroom teaching is a key component of our Pupil Premium strategy.

Wider strategies – Ways to support and overcome the most significant non-academic barriers to success in school, including attendance, behaviour and social and emotional support are also targeted through our Pupil Premium strategy.
