In March 2022, the schools white paper identified 24 priority education investment areas (PEIAs). These are a subset of the education investment areas (EIAs) and have been selected either because they were previously an 'opportunity area' or due to their combined levels of performance and deprivation.

'Opportunity area funding', as it was known then, was awarded to Clarkson Infant & Nursery School for a two year writing project (2023-2025), in order to improve the standards in writing in our school.
