What Is The Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium provides additional funding on top of the main funding a school receives. It is targeted at students from disadvantaged backgrounds to ensure they benefit from the same opportunities as students from less deprived families.
How will the impact of the spending of the Pupil Premium be measured?
To monitor progress on attainment, measures will be included in the school performance tables that will capture the achievement of students covered by the Pupil Premium. At The Halifax Academy, we use a termly cycle of data collection to monitor and track student attainment, which is used to inform student progress and enable the early identification of need, support and appropriate intervention.

What is the Primary PE and Sports Premium?
Physical activity has numerous benefits for children and young people’s physical health, as well as their mental wellbeing (increasing self-esteem and emotional wellbeing and lowering anxiety and depression), and children who are physically active are happier and more resilient. A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation.
The PE and sport premium provides primary schools with £320m of government funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport offered through their core budgets. It is allocated directly to schools so they have the flexibility to use it in the way that works best for their pupils.
