Pupil Voice Interview
Butler’s Hill Infant and Nursery school is located in Hucknall, Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. The school location has long been identified nationally as an area of low social deprivation.
We firmly believe in our school ethos of 'Dream Big, Aim High' and we believe this is the right of all children. Our intention is that all pupils; irrespective of background or the challenges they face, make good progress across the curriculum. Cultural capital is a key aspect of our strategy and is it is our responsibility to ensure our children receive engaging experiences and activities that will bridge some of the gaps that exist due to their personal experiences this (includes after school activities, enrichment and experiential learning). We aim to equip our children with the knowledge needed to be effective citizens within our local and global community.

What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium is a sum of money given to schools each year by the Government to support the education of disadvantaged children. The funding is used to directly benefit the children who are eligible, helping to narrow the gap between them and their classmates.
Primary schools are given a pupil premium for:
- Children in Reception to Year 6 who are, or have ever been, entitled to free school meals based on their family income: £1345 per pupil, per school year.
- Children in care: £2345 per pupil, per school year.
- Children previously in care who have been adopted, or who have a special guardianship order, a child arrangements order or a residence order: £2345 per pupil, per school year.
- Children recorded as being from service families: £310 per pupil, per school year.
Schools can choose how to spend their pupil premium money, as they are best placed to identify what would be of most benefit to the children who are eligible.
