Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium is a specific amount of funding that forms part of our annual school budget. The purpose of the Pupil Premium is explained on the Department for Education website as follows:

  • The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their wealthier peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.
  • In most cases the Pupil Premium is allocated to schools and is clearly identifiable. It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium, allocated to school per FSM pupil, is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.
