Pupil Premium
Our Pupil Premium Strategy
At St. Wilfrid’s Church of England Primary Academy, we believe that every child deserves a ‘high quality’ education and we ensure that all children thrive, both academically and personally. Through analysis, we identify any barriers to children’s learning. Consultation with pupils, parents and teachers is undertaken to plan appropriate actions and strategies, based on National research, to overcome barriers and enable children to experience success. All children, including those eligible for Pupil Premium, achieve well, make excellent progress and are well-prepared for the next stage in their learning.
