Pupil Premium Grant (PPG)

What is the Pupil Premium Grant?

Highgate Primary School is committed to narrowing the gap in attainment of children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

The targeted and strategic use of the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) supports the school to achieve this aim.

All our work through the Pupil Premium Grant is aimed at accelerating progress, moving children to at least age-related expectations in literacy and mathematics. However, Pupil Premium Grant resources may also be used to target higher attaining children registered as receiving Free School Meals.
