Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium funding is an allocation of additional funding provided to schools to support specific groups of children who are vulnerable to possible underachievement.
These include pupils who are entitled to free school meals and those looked after by the local authority. There is also a smaller amount for children of armed services personnel. This money is allocated to initiatives to ensure pupils reach their full potential, both academically and socially.
“It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium allocated to schools per Free School Meal pupil, is spent since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility” Dept of Education
All schools are required to report on the amount of funding received, how this is being used, and the impact of any work done.

Sports and P.E. Premium
The PE and sport premium is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the PE and sport activities they offer their pupils.
This funding – provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – is allocated to primary school headteachers. The funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on the provision of PE and sport in schools.
Holy Family RC Primary School endeavours to promote healthy living, exercise and inspired pupils to participate in sport through our Physical Education and School Sports provision. Each child participates in 2 hours of Physical Education lessons per week. 30 minutes of daily exercise is promoted through our playtime and dinnertime provision.
There are a wide range of PE extra-curricular clubs put on across the course of a year. These include: Multi sports, Netball, Football, Dance, Tag Rugby, Cross Country and Cricket.
Sports festivals organised in conjunction with Newman RC College and the Catholic Federation of Oldham Schools (CFOS) provide opportunity for participation in competitions across a range of sports.
Holy Family also affiliate with the Oldham Sports Partnership Scheme. This allows our pupils to compete in a wide range of activities with other Oldham Schools. Our pupils have participated in activities such as Curling, Ten Pin Bowling, Rugby and Cross Country.
Each year children from year 6 are trained as Play Leaders. They take responsibility for the planning, resourcing and organising of both competitive games and skills based activities with groups of children at lunchtimes.
For the second year running we have achieved the Gold School Games Mark Award. Thank you to all those who have helped us achieve this.
