Pupil Premium

 

 

Overview

Pupil Premium is funding which a school receives in addition to the main school budget. It is provided by the government with its purpose being to help schools narrow the attainment gap which has been shown to exist between pupils from low-income and more affluent backgrounds. The funding is available to pupils eligible for free school meals, pupils who have a guardianship or residency order and those from service families. The schools are free to choose how to spend the Pupil Premium in order to best support their pupils. In cases where pupils are not making expected progress or are not yet meeting their national age-related expectations, the Pupil Premium is used to provide academic support to boost their attainment. Where pupil attainment is good, it is used to enrich their learning through funding non-academic activities, such as improving mental and physical health, which are also of benefit to other pupils.

 

The Department for Education expects all schools to report annually on their use of the Pupil Premium. Please click on the government link below to learn more about funding:
