Pupil Premium Allocation

Pupil Premium is a government initiative and was introduced in 2011, it is an addition to school’s main funding.  This allocation is targeted at addressing underlying inequalities and aims to tackle the disadvantages some children experience in life.  The funding is available to children from low income families who are currently known to be eligible for free school meals. At St Thomas More Primary  we believe strongly that the Pupil Premium should be used carefully so that it facilitates access to the curriculum, provides additional teaching and learning opportunities and additional support and interventions.  Our aim is to support children’s social and emotional well-being and improve their progress and attainment in English and Maths so that we narrow the gap between disadvantaged children and their peers.

If you think your child may qualify for additional funding please complete the form on the Royal Borough of Greenwich website : Pupil Benefit Claim (royalgreenwich.gov.uk)
