Pupil Premium

Sidegate Primary School receives a Pupil Premium Grant for each child who is entitled to receive Free School Meals or who has been entitled to them over the last six years, children of armed forces personnel and for any ‘Looked After Children’ or children adopted from care. We publish online information about how we have used the premium.

We aim for every single one of our pupil premium funded children to reach at least national expectations in all areas and to make good progress from their starting points.

Pupil Premium can be a significant amount of money and it is important that all families who may be eligible for Free School Meals or certain government benefits, such as Job Seekers Allowance or Income Support make sure that they apply. If your child is adopted from care or is a Service Child please let us know. Please see the school office if you are unsure. Every school is free to decide how best to direct this funding to meet the needs of individual pupils.
