Pupil Premium
The pupil premium is a Government initiative that provides additional funding for the following groups of pupils;
- Disadvantaged pupils -Free School Meals - This includes all pupils entitled to Free School Meals (FSM) currently. National levels of attainment have been lower for FSM pupils and the purpose of funding is to reduce the gap.
- Disadvantaged pupils -Free School Meals ‘Ever 6’ - This includes all pupils entitled to Free School Meals (FSM) at any time in the previous 6 years. National levels of attainment have been lower for FSM pupils and the purpose of funding is to reduce the gap.
- Service Family Pupils – This applies to pupils who have a parent serving in the armed forces currently or in the previous 3 years. The funding is not about deprivation, but about the potential social and emotional needs of service life impacting on pupils’ wellbeing and progress.
- Children in Care – This applies to children who are ‘looked after’ by the local authority and those who have been adopted.
