Pupil Premium Funding
Last year, free school meals were extended to children in Key Stage 2 (Years 3-6) courtesy of the Mayor of London. The initiative, dubbed ‘Mayor's Meals’, is continuing for another year which means your child will still receive a tasty and nutritious meal through the 2024-25 academic year.
You may be aware that, regardless of Mayors Meals, all children eligible for Pupil Premium payments are still eligible to apply for this funding. Pupil Premium funding is a grant from the government paid directly to schools and used to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils. Each Pupil Premium payment grants the school an extra £2,010 per eligible pupil which contributes towards this pot of money.
Signing up for Pupil Premium is fast and easy using London Borough of Havering’s citizen’s portal (www.havering.gov.uk)

We’re a Voice 21 Oracy School.
We are part of a network of over a thousand Voice 21 Oracy Schools across the UK who are transforming teaching and learning through talk.
Oracy is the ability to articulate ideas, develop understanding and engage with others through spoken language. In Voice 21 Oracy Schools students learn the oracy skills they need to succeed in school and in life.
Why oracy matters?
By teaching pupils to become effective speakers and listeners we empower them to better understand themselves, each other and the world around them.
We actively invest teaching time into creating "talk rich" classrooms, valuing every single student voice, boosting confidence and preparing our students for their futures.
- Speaking and listening skills are critical foundations for reading and writing. ● Students with better oral language skills are more likely to achieve the highest grades in GCSE Maths and English.
- Young people with good communication skills are less likely to have mental health difficulties.
As a Voice 21 Oracy School we put oracy at the heart of our teaching and learning across all subject areas enabling students to develop and deepen their knowledge and understanding through talk in the classroom.
In Voice 21 Oracy Schools:
- 89% of students agree/strongly agree that speaking and listening has helped them make progress with their school work.
- 77% of teachers said that oracy had boosted attainment.
- 96% of teachers said that oracy is an essential part of teaching and learning. Find out more about oracy and Voice 21 here
