Gainsborough is a part of the Primary Advantage Federation of schools and we review our policies on a regular basis. When a policy review is required, consultation is also undertaken with wider stakeholders including our school Governors.

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

From 1st January 2021, the Department for Education requires that all schools publish information on employees who earn in excess of £100,000 per annum. On this page you will find these details of our staff along with a link to the DfE Financial Benchmarking website for the school.

Children and young people across the country have experienced unprecedented disruption to their education as a result of coronavirus (COVID-19). Those from the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds will be among those hardest hit. The aggregate impact of lost time in education will be substantial, and the scale of our response must match the scale of the challenge. Schools’ allocations will be calculated on a per pupil basis, providing each mainstream school with a total of £80 for each pupil in years reception through to 11. As the catch-up premium has been designed to mitigate the effects of the unique disruption caused by coronavirus (COVID-19), the grant will only be available for the 2020 to 2021 academic year. It will not be added to schools’ baselines in calculating future years’ funding allocations.

The Department for Education (DfE) are spending over £450 million on improving physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. The funding will be allocated directly to primary school’s to spend on improving the quality of sport and PE for all pupils.

When a pupil reaches the end of Key Stage 2, they are required by law to sit the Year 6 SATs test; unless a child meets a particular set of requirements which exempts them from taking the tests. The results from the SATs tests are published every December for the public to see.

The safety and well-being of the children here at Gainsborough is our first priority. Children cannot learn unless they feel happy and safe. We adhere to stringent Safeguarding procedures to protect the welfare of all the children who come here.
