• Pupil Premium

At St Matthew’s we aim to use the Pupil Premium grant to: increase social mobility; enable more pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to access the best education; raise the attainment for disadvantaged pupils, thus reducing the attainment gap between advantaged and disadvantaged pupils.  

The targeted use of Pupil Premium fund will help the staff and Governors at St Matthew’s Primary School achieve their mission of high educational expectations within a caring Christian Community so that all our children have successful futures. The progress and attainment of disadvantaged pupils, compared to their peers, is a key focus in our school. This is monitored through learning walks, observations, book and work scrutiny, data analysis and half-termly pupil progress meetings There is a broad range of uses for the Pupil Premium money to enable disadvantaged pupils at St. Matthew’s to achieve at least as well as advantaged pupils. These strategies are selected and reviewed based on current research, for example by using evidence-based research and resources from the Education Endowment Foundation, NFER model, and pupil data.
