Pupil Premium

 

 

Introduced in 2011, the pupil premium is a sum of money given to schools each year by the Government to improve the attainment of disadvantaged children. This is based on research showing that children from low income families perform less well at school than their peers. The pupil premium is intended to directly benefit the children who are eligible, helping to narrow the gap between them and their classmates. Children who are eligible for Free School Meals, children  who are in care (or who have been and are now adopted) as well as those from Service families are included in each school's Pupil Premium allocation
