Pupil Premium

At Kedington Primary Academy, we believe that supporting disadvantaged pupils is a privilege, not a problem to solve. We are committed to fostering a culture where every child, regardless of background or starting point, can achieve and flourish in all aspects of school life. We understand the challenges posed by low family income and its impact on opportunity, development, and health, yet we refuse to let these factors become barriers. We never lower expectations based on family circumstances, nor allow labels to dictate opportunities. Our approach is evidence-led, ensuring equity, ambition, and access for all and based on evidence not assumption.

How we spend this money is outlined in our Pupil Premium Strategy document..

All children eligible for pupil premium funding also receive a package of support to help them to feel equal and be able to make the most of their time in school. This includes:

Your child will be entitled to the following:

• 2 x sweatshirts or cardigans each school year
• 50% off the parental contribution to school trips
• 50% off the cost of any chargeable clubs run by the school/ 33% of externally run clubs
• 50% off the cost of any chargeable activities in school (e.g. special events)

Pupils who feel they may be eligible for free school meals can find out more on the dedicated Free School Meals page.

PE Premium

The PE Premium is paid to all schools annually in order to improve provision and participation and to encourage children to have a healthier lifestyle.

Our ‘Evidencing the impact of the Primary PE and Sports Premium’ documents provides information about how this is used and the impact it has had.
