Funding & Additional Support
Additional government funding helps us provide enhanced opportunities, targeted support and enriching experiences that enable every child to thrive.
Schools receive a number of different funding streams to support pupils' achievement, wellbeing and personal development. We use these funds carefully to remove barriers to learning, widen opportunities and ensure all children can succeed.
