Pupil Premium Information

What is the Pupil Premium?

Disadvantaged Pupils

The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools so that they can support their disadvantaged pupils and close the attainment gap between them and their peers. The Pupil Premium Grant is a significant amount of money for many schools, with schools attracting £2530 per 'looked-after child' or £1455 per child who has been able to access free school meals within the last 6 years. 

Pupils from Service Families

Pupils from Service families also attract Pupil Premium funding at the level of £335 per child.  This money is to be used to support pupils’ pastoral needs, for example during times of parental deployment or during a move to, or away from, our school.

Accountability

The government believes that head teachers and school leaders should decide how to use the pupil premium. They are held accountable for the decisions they make through:

• the performance tables which show the performance of disadvantaged pupils compared with their peers
• the Ofsted inspection framework, under which inspectors focus on the attainment of pupil groups, and in particular those who attract the pupil premium
• the reports for parents that schools have to publish online
