The Pupil Premium is additional Government funding provided to schools to help raise attainment amongst disadvantaged children.

It is allocated according to the number of pupils on roll who:

• are eligible for free school meals (FSM); 
• are children of service families; 
• have been ‘Looked After’ (in care) for 6 months or more. 

It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility. However, schools are to be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils from low income families.

Other links below will provide you with further information to help you understand the background to Pupil Premium and how we, as a school, have spent the additional funding to improve provision and target interventions for the benefit of all.

We cannot emphasise enough how important it is to register with school for Free School Meals if your children are eligible.

Please see the School Meals page for more information.
