Online Safety

e-Safety is an important part of keeping children safe at Harpur Hill Primary School . We have extensive security measures in place in school, which are monitored both internally and externally, to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material.

Pupil Premium

The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gaps between them and their peers.

Sports Premium

In March 2013 the government announced that it was to provide additional funding of £150 million per annum for academic years 2013 to 2015 to improve provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools in England. On 17th July 2017 the Department for Education confirmed that the Primary PE and Sport Premium will double from September 2017.

SEND

SEND stands for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. The Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Code of Practice (2014) states ‘A child has SEND where their learning difficulty or disability calls for special educational provision, that is provision different from or additional to that normally available to pupils of the same age.’

Ofsted

Ofsted is the 'Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills'. Ofsted inspect and regulate services that care for children and young people, and services providing education and skills for learners of all ages (including schools). In this section, there is a link to the Ofsted page for our school and from here, you can read and download our most recent report as well as previous inspection reports.

Performance (pupil attainment and progress)

School performance data is statistical information showing how well pupils in England have done in public examinations taken at key points in their educational journey.

Data is published for children's attainment and progress in national curriculum tests, often known as Sats, which are sat at the end of primary school at age 10 or 11.
