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.

Clarkson Infant & Nursery School has previously benefited from opportunity area funding and have also been awarded funding for a two year writing project (2023-2025) in order to improve the standards in writing in our school.
