Pupil Premium
What is the Pupil Premium?
The Pupil Premium is funding provided by the government to schools (on top of normal funding per child) to support learners who are disadvantaged to achieve their potential.
From September 2024, the Pupil Premium funding a school receives is:
- £1480 per pupil in Years 7 to 11 recorded as Ever 6 free school meals
- £2,570 per pupil for children who are looked after (LAC) by local authority and for previously looked after children (PLAC) by a local authority or other state care and for children who are looked after (LAC) by local authority.
- £340 per pupil for pupils who have parents serving in the armed forces.
Statistics for many years show that there is a difference between the attainment of those students who are considered disadvantaged and those which are not, even if they come to school with the same abilities.
This is because of the opportunities that some children can be offered. The Pupil Premium is designed to help diminish the difference and allow all students to achieve their potential.
