The Pupil Premium

Supporting disadvantaged children

This is designed to help disadvantaged pupils of all abilities perform better, and close the gap between them and their peers. The amount we receive dependents on the number of children who are both eligible for, and have claimed, free school meals at any one time in the past six years. Pupil Premium funding is also given to support children who have previously been in Local Authority care.

In order to check whether your child might be eligible for free school meals or to make a claim, please use the following link https://www.kent.gov.uk/education-and-children/schools/free-school-meals

If you require further information about free school meals or pupil premium funding, contact the School Office on office@penshurst.kent.sch.uk or 01892 870446

The Sport Premium

Developing active lifestyles

This initiative aims to help increase and improve PE and sporting opportunities for children. This extra government funding can only be spent on improving the provision of PE and sport in school.

We use our premium to provide our children with a range of sporting experiences; some are competitive and some are about having a go at something new or different. We encourage pupils to be active and understand that physical activity is an important part of their wellbeing.
