Pupil Premium and PE Premium

At Kingsfield Primary School, we have high aspirations for all learners. We are committed to providing equality of opportunity so every pupil thrives academically, socially, and emotionally. Our aim is for all disadvantaged pupils to leave our school as confident, resilient, and successful learners who have found something they enjoy and excel at.

We want our Pupil Premium funding to make a real difference for our children and families. We use it carefully to help every child feel supported, confident, and ready to learn. By regularly reviewing how this funding is spent, we make sure it helps improve attendance, build new skills, broaden experiences, raise aspirations, and boost achievement so that all children can reach their full potential. 

Our current prediction for Pupil Premium Funding for 2025-2026 is £153,015.00

Key Barriers to Learning

  • Attendance – Pupil Premium (PP) pupils’ attendance is below that of non-PP pupils.

  • Social and Emotional Needs – Higher levels of emotional regulation difficulties and complex social needs.

  • Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) – A significant number of PP pupils have safeguarding concerns impacting readiness to learn.

  • Attainment Gaps – Lower attainment in reading, writing, and maths at KS1 and KS2 compared with peers.
