Schools are given Pupil Premium for:

• Children who have qualified for Free School Meals at any point in the past six years. The school receives £1,455 for each of these pupils.
• Children who have been looked after under Local Authority care for more than one day or have left Local Authority care through adoption, a Special Guardianship Order or Child Arrangement Order. The school receives £2,530 for each of these pupils.

At Dringhouses we have high aspirations and ambitions for all our children and we believe that no child should be left behind. We strongly believe that all children have the right to an excellent education underpinned by outstanding quality teaching with high expectations. On that basis we are determined to ensure that our children are given every chance to realise their full potential. The ‘champion’ for the disadvantaged children at Dringhouses is the Head of School, Mary-Kate Swiers. This ensures they have a high profile with a constant focus on provision and outcomes.

Within our Pupil Premium Strategy you will find details of how we spend the pupil premium and what impact this is having on pupils’ achievement together with the latest government advice.

Within our Pupil Premium Plan (2023-2024), you can see how we plan to address the barriers to attainment.
