Since 2011, schools in England have received ‘pupil premium’ funding from the Government. This money is intended to be used to support children and families in school, particularly those entitled to Free School Meals. It is hoped that the money will help schools to improve their academic standards and engagement and wellbeing in children and families.

At Abbey Hill, ambition drives everything we do. With almost 80% of our pupils supported through the Pupil Premium, we are committed to ensuring every child thrives academically, socially, and emotionally. Our strategy is rooted in understanding our pupils’ lived experiences, removing barriers, and providing opportunities that inspire curiosity, confidence, and joy in learning.

We know that pupils learn best from teachers who enjoy teaching, in lessons you don’t want to miss - that is the heart of our intent.
