Pupil Premium

Supporting our Parents / Supporting our School

The Pupil Premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers. Schools receive funding for each child registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years.

Pupil Premium funding will be tailored to meet the individual pupil needs to support their learning and progress. However, as standard, pupils in receipt of Pupil Premium will also be entitled to financial support with school uniform, school trips, an external sport or a regular peripatetic lesson (e.g. a funded club).
