Pupil Premium

Central government gives funding for schools to support pupils from deprived backgrounds. This funding is called the 'Pupil Premium'. It is designed to close the gap in learning and achievement for those children from less advantaged backgrounds. At St Elizabeth, we are committed to ensuring excellence for all pupils. This year, our pupil premium is being used in the following ways:

  • Numbers Count - supporting early mathematical skills acquisition
  • Support for access to extra curricular activities
  • Booster classes in English and Mathematics
  • Musical instrument tuition

You, Your Children and their Catholic Faith Starting January 14th 2.15-3.15pm. Mr Purcell would like to invite you along to view a DVD and discuss key points regarding the Catholic Faith in a very informal setting. This programme will be delivered over 7 weekly meetings, talks include: who would be a parent? Why bother with baptism? How do children believe? The talks are a mixture of teaching and moving stories which arouse and develop questions that can be discussed in small groups. Parents attending are not expected to be experts on the Catholic Faith!

First Aid Session for parents/ Carers was delivered by The London Ambulance Service on 21st January by Mark Bolding. It was highly informative session covering choking, CPR (cardiopulminary resusitation), burns and other emergency situations. We are hoping to repeat this session in the coming weeks. Look out for the date here and in the Parent Notices.
