Premium Allocations
The Pupil Premium Grant provides additional funding on top of the main funding a school receives. It is targeted at pupils who have received Free School Meals at some point in the last six years. How the Pupil Premium is spent is monitored closely and we are accountable for the impact of the money spent.
Pupil Premium at St. Leonard’s
We are ambitious for our children and we believe that no child should be left behind. We strongly believe that it is not about where you come from but your passions and thirst for knowledge, ad your dedication and commitment to learning that make the difference between success and failure, and we are determined to ensure that our children are given every chance to realise their full potential. We use the pupil premium funds to support our children to achieve well.
If you think your child may be eligible to receive this additional funding and support but are not sure whether the school are aware of this, please speak in confidence to the staff in the school office.
