Pupil Premium

What is the purpose of the Pupil Premium?

The Pupil Premium is additional funding which is allocated to schools on the basis of the number of pupils who: 

• have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point over the last six years (known as 'EVER 6 FSM)

• have been looked after continuously for more than six months

• are the children of service personnel

• have been adopted from care

The Pupil Premium is aimed at addressing the current underlying inequalities which exist between children from disadvantaged backgrounds and their more affluent peers.
