Pupil Premium
Kirby Moor School is committed to being a fully accessible and inclusive organisation which welcomes diversity. Meeting the needs of all students underpins all our teaching and support services to ensure the best learning opportunities and experiences are provided for all our students.
Many of our pupils attending Kirby Moor would usually have been entitled to Pupil Premium. However, some Local Authorities have made the decision that they do not pay the Pupil Premium to Independent Schools. Therefore, many of our pupils do not get the allocated PP amount. We have ensured that the placement costs are used in part to pay for areas which the Pupil premium would usually have paid for.
