Pupil Premium

At Sir Thomas Rich’s School we are proud to offer a bespoke Pupil Premium Grant package to support pupils, and their parents, in the way that is of most benefit to the individual pupil. If you have any questions regarding our Pupil Premium offer, please see the below information and email any questions to our Pupil Premium and Widening Access Lead, Mrs Ellen Holt, at [email protected].

Sir Thomas Rich’s School receives a sum of money from the government called the Pupil Premium Grant. The purpose of the Pupil Premium Grant is to help address the inequalities between those pupils in receipt of free school meals, looked after children, service personnel and their peers.

We use the funding gained from the Pupil Premium Grant to support a range of students. The funding allocated to Sir Thomas Rich’s focuses on supporting pupils to raise their academic achievement and improve pupil participation in extra-curricular activities.

We are required to publish how much Pupil Premium Grant we receive and its allocation within our school. Please find below the School’s Pupil Premium Policy, the impact of the Pupil Premium Grant for previous years and the planned Pupil Premium expenditure for 2024/25.
