Key Information
Pupil premium
Pupil Premium is funding to improve education outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in schools in England. Evidence shows that disadvantaged children generally face additional challenges in reaching their potential at school and often do not perform as well as other pupils.
‘The Best in Everyone’
The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools so that they can support their disadvantaged pupils and close the attainment gap between them and their peers. The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated to schools to work with pupils who:
have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years (known as ‘Ever 6 FSM’),
have been adopted from care or have left care (LAC),
are children of service personnel.
