Pupil Premium
What is the Pupil Premium?
The Pupil Premium is a government initiative which provides additional funding to schools each year to help schools close the attainment gap between children identified as disadvantaged and their peers. The purpose of the extra funding, is to provide additional resources from outside the school’s budget to accelerate progress and raise attainment. It is the school’s decision as to how the Pupil Premium is spent and this is outlined in our 'Pupil Premium Strategy'. In 2023/24 the funding allocated is £1455 per child of Primary School age, and £2530 for children who are looked after by the Local Authority.
Who is eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant?
Children who are eligible, or have been eligible, for free school meals (FSM) at any point over the past 6 years or have been looked after for one day or more by the Local Authority. Children who have a parent serving in the armed forces are also eligible for the Service Pupil Premium (SPP).
