Pupil Premium

Pupil premium is funding to improve education outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in schools in England. Evidence shows that disadvantaged children generally face additional challenges in reaching their potential at school and often do not perform as well as other pupils. 

For the academic year 2023-2024, £1,455 has been allocated to schools for any pupil who has been registered for Free School Meals in the last six years. In addition, a Service Child Premium of £335 per pupil has been allocated to children with parents in the armed services in recognition for the particular challenges that they face. Children who are looked after or previously looked after are allocated £2,530. Pupil premium is not a personal budget for individual pupils, and schools are not required to spend all of their allocated grant on eligible pupils.
