New School Year boost for Prestwich Schools

by prestwichfocus on 10 September, 2013

As the new school year begins, pupils in our local schools here in Prestwich will benefit from an extra £1,239,600 on top of the school budget thanks to the Liberal Democrat Pupil Premium.

The Pupil Premium helps to provide extra support for the children who need it the most.

Schools will be able to spend this money in ways that they feel helps their pupils best. Evidence shows some schools use it to hire extra staff offer reading and maths classes for children who need an extra hand or to provide appropriate IT facilities.

And in 2014/15, the Pupil Premium will be increased to £1,300 per eligible primary school pupil up from £900 per child this year.

We have learnt that if your child starts behind in secondary school, they stay behind. That is unacceptable. As part of the Liberal Democrats’ aim to build a fairer society, the Coalition Government is putting extra money into primary schools to help teachers support disadvantaged children.
