Proposed appeal hearing dates are during the weeks commencing 21 June and 28 June 2021.
Decision letters will be sent within five working days of the appeal hearing, subject to any unforeseen circumstances.
Pupil Premium money is provided through the Local Authority to support pupils from low income families who are eligible for Free School Meals and other target groups including Looked After Children and pupils of Forces employees.
Each year this funding is used to provide additional intervention programmes for children; this is delivered through teaching small groups, Intervention sessions with Class Teachers and Teaching Assistant support and help towards the funding of Educational Trips, Instrumental Lessons in school and After School Clubs.
Children's progress is tracked to ensure that at least satisfactory progress is made for our target children, as we do for all children in our school.
The full funding allocation and expenditure can be seen in the Pupil Premiumm Action Plan on our Policies & Documentspage.
PE and Sport Premium funding received by the school has enabled the children, through the Kettering Small Schools Sports Partnership to participate in numerous tournaments, including Athletics, Football, Tag Rugby, Gymnastics, Tennis, Tri-Golf, Netball.
