Pupil Premium
What is it?
Pupil Premium is an additional grant of money provided to schools by the government to support learners from lower resourced households.
Who is it for?
Schools are allocated additional funding for learners from families who are eligible for free school meals or have children who have been in the care system. A smaller amount is allocated to learners whose parents are currently serving in the Armed Forces.
What is it for?
Pupil Premium funding helps us to provide targeted academic and pastoral support for learners to ensure that they can meet their potential.
