Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium payments, which are used to enhance the quality of your child's education, are available to all eligible pupils. At Harris Primary Academy South Kenton, Pupil Premium is used to provide your child with:

• Academic support such as booster classes, speech and language help and extra learning support
• Discount towards the cost of school trips, visits and events
• Discount for all Enrichment clubs and sports

All pupils are now entitled to receive free school meals however, your child may be missing out on this additional support, targeted towards ensuring;

• The gap in attainment and progress between pupil premium and non pupil premium students is closed
• Students are involved in all school life
• All students feel equally valued and can flourish 

Parents and carers who receive one or more of the qualifying benefits listed below should complete a Pupil Premium application in order for the child's school to benefit from this additional funding.
