Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools and academies to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers. It was first introduced in April 2011. Since then the amount schools  receive has increased. Schools receive funding based on the number of pupils who have been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years.
