Pupil Premium

Pupil premium is additional funding received by schools to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers. Findings show that children who are eligible for pupil premium funding generally have lower educational attainment than their peers.

Pupil Premium funding (PPG) is available for any pupil who:

• currently, or at any point in the last six years, has been eligible for free school meals (FSM);
• were looked after by an English or Welsh local authority immediately before being adopted, or who left local authority care on a special guardianship order or child arrangements order (previously known as a residence order). Known as post-LAC.
• currently, or at any point in the last six years, have had a parent who served in the armed forces.

The level of PPG for 2023-2024 is £1,455 per child from Reception (FS2) to Year 6, £2,530 per post-CIC and CIC child and up to £353 per eligible child in Nursery (FS1) for EYPP. This money is spent to improve the educational attainment of these children, thus improving their life chances. Service pupil premium is £335 per eligible pupil. This funding is primarily to enable schools to offer pastoral support and help mitigate the negative impact of family mobility or parental deployment. 

The Pupil Premium is additional to main school funding and it will be used by this school to address any underlying inequalities between children eligible by ensuring that funding reaches the pupils who need it most.
