The school undertakes activities in order to support pupils facing the challenges of poverty and deprivation. This year the grant is being used to provide additional staffing to support small group literacy, numeracy and emotional-wellbeing across the school. It is also supporting the children and their families by helping to fund school visits and experiences.

No child should miss out due to circumstances or not have the support to reach their full potential.

This explains the outcomes we are aiming for by the end of our current strategy plan, and how we will measure whether they have been achieved.
