Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium funding is given to Sacks Morasha Jewish Primary School to close the gap between the attainment of disadvantaged (identified by the government as pupils on free school meals) and more affluent pupils. It is based on the number of pupils who have been eligible for free school meals on roll and in the last six years, or who are looked after by the Local Authority.

The money we receive for Pupil Premium is used to make a contribution to a range of interventions individualised learning programmes to ensure these children make the best amount of progress. Our Pupil Premium recipients are monitored by the Senior Leadership Team through Pupil Progress Meetings. Pupil Premium money represents a small proportion of our budget and affects 8% of pupils in our school.
