Pupil premium is additional money delegated to the academy and is matched to the number of pupils who are eligible for free school meals and who are children of service families. At Yeoman Park Academy we use our funding for a range of purposes suited to the individual needs of our children.
All young people should have the opportunity to live healthy and active lives. A positive experience of sport and physical activity at a young age can build a lifetime habit of participation and is central to meeting the government’s ambitions for a world-class education system.
The PE and sport premium can help primary schools to achieve this aim, providing primary schools with £320m of government funding to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of the PE, physical activity and sport offered through their core budgets. It is allocated directly to schools so they have the flexibility to use it in the way that works best for their pupils.
The recovery premium grant is part of the government’s package of funding to support pupils whose education has been impacted by coronavirus (Covid-19). It is focused on pupil premium eligible pupils and pupils in specialist settings such as special schools, special units and pupil referral units (PRUs). The following information details how we will use our funding at Yeoman Park Academy.

When measuring the progress of our strategic plan we will be led by the needs of the pupils. This will be informed by our knowledge of pupils’ experiences and through liaison with families and multi-agency partners.
We understand the importance of the plan’s flexibility, and as such, have not imposed milestones to track impact. As our understanding of the differing needs of our pupils develops upon their return to school, we will be guided by the voices of our pupils and their families when allocating resourcing and financing activities.
