Nature of Support
Each child entitled to the Pupil Premium grant is unique in their situation and our response to their needs must reflect this. With this in mind, at Red Hall we aim to build the capacity and expertise to enable us to provide a programme of academic and pastoral support in order to allow each child to reach their full potential. Our key objective in using the Pupil Premium grant is to narrow the attainment and achievement gap between those entitled to Pupil Premium and all pupils nationally.
