About the Pupil Premium

Pupil premium is additional funding provided to school for supporting more disadvantaged pupils to ensure they benefit from the same opportunities as all other children and narrow gaps in attainment.  National data shows that generally, these children do not achieve as highly as their peers. In most cases the Pupil Premium is paid direct to schools. Schools decide how to use the funding, as they are best placed to assess what their pupils need.

 

There are three categories of children who qualify for pupil premium:

 

 ·         Children who are eligible for free school meals (FSM) or have been in the last 6 years

 

 ·         Looked after children (including children who were adopted from care)

 

 ·         Armed forces children
