The Pupil Premium is a government initiative which targets extra money towards pupils from deprived backgrounds.
Research shows that pupils from deprived backgrounds underachieve compared to their non-deprived peers. The Pupil Premium is provided to enable these pupils to be supported to reach their potential.
At Reedswood E-ACT academy, we have high aspirations and ambitions for our children and we believe that no child should be left behind.
Our very high proportion of FSM children has meant that our pupil premium money has represented a significant proportion of our budget and we have planned our spending carefully to ensure that it has been spent to maximum effect.
The academy is located in an area of high social deprivation.
