What is Pupil Premium?

Pupil Premium is an allocation of additional funding provided to schools to support specific groups of children who are vulnerable to possible underachievement.

These include pupils who are entitled to Free School Meals. It is for schools to decide how Pupil Premium, allocated to schools per FSM pupil, is spent and although funding is targeted at eligible pupils, the impact is spread across the whole school. We are grateful that parents apply for the funding and this can be done through the school. If you think your child is eligible, please enquire at the school office.

Since September 2012, schools have been required to publish online information about their pupil premium allocation and how they plan to spend it. The Ofsted Subsidiary Guidance 2014 also states that schools must publish a statement of how they spend the money for the previous year and its impact on the attainment of the pupils eligible for support through the pupil premium. Please see documents showing the schools statements and plans in regards to the Pupil Premium.
