Please read the information below which gives details of our latest Pupil Premium and Recovery Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.

Schools, headteachers and teachers will decide how to use the Pupil Premium and Recovery Premium allocation, as they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for individual pupils.

Details of our previous Pupil Premium and Recovery Premium Grants and how we allocated funding can be found below.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent closure of schools, the government issued an amount of catch-up funding to all schools to support with closing gaps in learning. The amount of funding allocated is based on pupil numbers and is paid over two financial years. 

At Pennington Infant School we are receiving a total of £7680 based on £80 per pupil;

Sept 2020 – Mar 2021 - £4,480

Apr 2021 – Aug 2021 -   £3,200

We have considered the age of our children when deciding how to allocate and spend our money. We have also used the government recommended, 'COVID-19 Support Guide for Schools' published by the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) to identify the best strategies, based on long term research, that will enable us to achieve the most positive outcomes.

Please see an overview of how the money will be spent. A further document detailing the tiered approach is available in school.
