At Newport Primary School, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background or circumstances.
Pupil Premium is additional government funding provided to schools to help improve outcomes for disadvantaged pupils and to reduce barriers to learning. Funding is allocated for pupils who are eligible for free school meals, have previously been eligible for free school meals, are looked after or previously looked after, and children from service families.
While Pupil Premium funding is an important resource, we recognise that it does not fully reflect the level of need within our community. The vast majority of our pupils live in areas of significant deprivation, and many families experience financial hardship despite not meeting the eligibility criteria for Pupil Premium funding. As a result, we take a needs-led approach, ensuring support is directed to pupils facing the greatest barriers to success, regardless of their formal eligibility status.
Our Approach
We have high expectations for every pupil. Our aim is to ensure that all children leave Newport Primary School with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to thrive in the next stage of their education.
Our strategy is built around a strong universal offer for all pupils, supported by targeted interventions and personalised support where needed. We focus on removing barriers to learning and improving outcomes through:
- High-quality teaching in every classroom
- Strong provision for reading, writing and mathematics
- Early language, vocabulary and communication development
- Targeted academic support and intervention
- Attendance and inclusion work
- Social, emotional and mental health support
- Family support and parental engagement
- Enrichment opportunities, including outdoor learning, sport, arts and culture
We regularly evaluate the impact of our work to ensure funding is used effectively and that all pupils have the opportunity to achieve their full potential.

Understanding Our Community
Newport Primary School serves a community with significant levels of deprivation. School deprivation data indicates that approximately 98% of pupils live within some of the most deprived areas nationally. Leaders use this information, alongside school assessment and wellbeing data, to ensure support and resources are targeted effectively.
