Pupil Premium & PE and Sports Premium
Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise attainment of disadvantage pupils of all abilities and to close the gaps between them and their peers.
The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals and their peers by ensuring that funding reaches the pupils who need it most (i.e. disadvantaged pupils). This is known as 'narrowing the gap'.
The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated to schools to work with pupils who have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years. The Pupil Premium is also designed to support children who are in Local Authority Care (Looked After Children) and children of parents serving in the Armed Forces.
At Marsh Hill Primary School, there is a higher than average number of children who receive Pupil Premium funding.

PE and Sports Premium
The government is providing additional funding of £150 million per annum to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools.
Schools must spend the additional funding on improving their provision of PE and sport, but they will have the freedom to choose how they do this.
I want every child to be able to aim for the stars, and to be supported in reaching them.
(David Laws, Education Minister, 2012)
Since September 2013 each school has received funding called Sports Premium.
At Marsh Hill, we really value the importance of Sport and PE and we are committed to offer our children the chance to really get involved in a variety of different sports and games in a competitive environment and to hopefully foster a love of sport that remains with them for life and opens up opportunities beyond what we offer at school.
In July 2024 we were once again awarded the Sainsbury's School Games 'Gold' Award . We are extremely proud of this achievement.
