Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium is allocated to pupils who are currently registered for free school meals or who have received free school meals at any time in the last six years (known as ‘Ever 6, FSM’). The funding for these children is £1,320 per year. Children who have parents in the Forces are allocated £300 per year. Any ‘Children Looked After’ are allocated £1,900.

The aim of the Pupil Premium funding is to support eligible children who may be vulnerable to under-achievement and address any attainment gaps.  As well as focusing upon academic endeavours, it may also be appropriate to provide support to nurture their well-being and to provide these children with access to a variety of enriching experiences.

The government added the recovery premium to support pupils disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Use of the two funds (pupil premium and recovery premium) are reported in a single statement.
