What is Pupil Premium?
The Pupil Premium is designed to ensure that funding to tackle disadvantaged children reaches the pupils who need it most. The funding is allocated to Local Authorities and schools for pupils from Reception to Year 11 who are eligible for free school meals (FSM), are looked after or have parents currently serving in the armed forces. In the 2017 to 2018 financial year, schools will receive the following funding set out by the DFE Education Funding Agency: More information can be found by downloading our Pupil Premium Information for Parents booklet PP Guide for parents
