Pupil Premium Grant
Our Pupil Premium strategy statement is reviewed on an annual basis. We have been allocated £70,810 for PP funding for the academic year 2025-2026. PP grant is a sum of money that the school receives for every pupil who is either in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM) or who has been in receipt of them in the past. Nationally, the statistics show that pupils who are in receipt of FSM do less well than their peers. The aim of this money is to try to close that attainment gap. Pitcheroak has a number of pupils who are in receipt of FSM. The school focuses on maximising achievement for all pupils and views each child as a unique individual entitled to the same quality of educational experience, in and beyond the classroom.Pupil Premium
