The Pupil Premium is a funding allocation, in addition to the school's budget, which is used to raise the attainment of the most vulnerable pupils. The Government believes that the pupil premium is the best way to address current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their non FSM peers, by ensuring the funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most. Pupil Premium is also used for Looked After Children (CLA) and children of armed services personnel. Schools can determine how the funding allocation will be spent in their setting to ensure pupils receive the support they require.
Please see the information which gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.
