What is the pupil premium?
Pupil Premium
Pupil premium is Government 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.
Pupil premium funding is allocated to schools and local authorities. Allocations are provided on a financial year basis, based on the following pupil eligibility - these include: pupils who are eligible for free school meals (this does not include 'YR-Y2 Infant Universal FSM'), or have been eligible in the past 6 years; pupils who have been adopted from care or have left care; children who are looked after by the local authority.
*If you want to know more about the criteria for applying for free school meals, see:
Service pupil premium
Service pupil premium is additional funding for schools with pupils who have parents serving in the armed forces currently or within the last 6 years. This funding is primarily to enable schools to offer pastoral support and help mitigate the negative impact of family mobility or parental deployment. It can also be used to help improve the academic progress of eligible pupils if the school deems this to be a priority.
