Pupil Premium at Mauldeth Road Primary School

At Mauldeth Road Primary School, we are committed to ensuring that every child can achieve their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances. We use Pupil Premium funding strategically to remove barriers to learning, raise attainment, improve attendance and wellbeing, and ensure that all pupils have access to the rich opportunities our school provides.

What is Pupil Premium?

Pupil Premium is additional government funding provided to schools to improve outcomes for disadvantaged pupils and help close attainment gaps. Schools have the flexibility to decide how best to use this funding to meet the needs of eligible pupils.
