Pupil Premium

What is the Pupil Premium?

The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and narrow the attainment gap between them and their non-disadvantaged peers. The funding is allocated to schools based on the number of:

• Students in receipt of free school meals at any point in the last 6 years (Ever 6 FSM)
• Looked After Children (LAC), adopted or special guardianship
• Students who have left care through adoption or another formal route such as a Special Guardianship Order or Child Arrangement Order
• Service children

This money is used to help disadvantaged pupils overcome any barriers to their learning and to ensure they reach their full potential.
