Pupil Premium

Pupil premium is funding to improve educational 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.  The primary aim is to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.

We will receive the following funding for each child registered as eligible for free school meals, or who have been registered as eligible in the past 6 years:

• £1050 for pupils eligible for Free School Meals in Year 7 to Year 11
• £2570 for Children Looked After (CLA) by the local authority and each pupil who has been adopted from care or has left care

The Government believes schools are best placed to decide how best to assess what additional provision is required for the individual pupils within their responsibility, and our principles for the use of this funding are rooted in:

• Investing in high quality teaching;
• Targeted high-quality support;
• Wider support that includes developing cultural capital and supporting with behavioural and social and emotional needs

How is the funding spent and what impact does it have?
