The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England. It is designed to help disadvantaged pupils of all abilities perform better, and close the gap between them and their peers.

The Rivers C of E Academy Trust Vision for the Pupil Premium Grant

As with every child in our care, a child who is eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant is valued, respected and entitled to develop to his or her full potential, irrespective of need.  The Pupil Premium grant is used on approaches shown to be effective in improving the achievement and opportunities for disadvantaged pupils. This echoes our mission statement, ‘Love - Learn - Live’.
