Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium Allocation
Pupil Premium is a payment made to schools by the government. It makes up part of the school’s funding, is received into our budget and is made available for use throughout the whole school. Schools are free to decide how to allocate this funding to best support the raising of attainment for the most vulnerable pupils.
Pupil Premium 2021/2024
As per DFE guidance, the Pupil Premium Strategy is in a set form. Please click the link to see how we invest our money in the children, using the key elements from the EEF (Education Endowment Foundation) to ensure that the Pupil Premium children get the best education and maximise their learning opportunities to narrow the gap.

The Pupil Premium is funding in addition to the school’s budget and is based on the number of children eligible for free school meals (FSM), Looked After Children (LAC) and for those children whose parents are currently in the Armed Forces.
‘It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium, allocated to schools per FSM pupil, is spent since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.’
