Additional Funding
Both Pupil Premium and Sports Premium are additional sources of funding given to publicly funded schools in England.
The pupil premium is additional funding given to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.
Sports Premium is designed to help primary schools improve the quality of the P.E. and sport activities they offer their pupils.
All schools are required to report on the amount of funding and how this is being used.
Please see below to see how, at River Beach, the funding is being spent and the positive impact it is having on our pupils.

Complaints
If you have any worries or concerns, your first point of contact will usually be your child’s Class Teacher.
Should you wish to take a matter further, it should be referred to a Year Leader (for your child’s year group), one of our Senior Leaders, the Deputy Headteacher or Head of School.
In the unlikely event that you are still not satisfied with the outcome of a meeting, you are then at liberty to write to the Executive Headteacher and/or the Schools Community Council, expressing a wish to formalise your complaint.
Our Trust Policy can be viewed here:
You can also refer a complaint to the Board of Trustees at Schoolsworks, whose contact details can be found here.
