What is Pupil Premium?

Pupil Premium is additional government funding given to schools in England to support disadvantaged pupils and improve their educational outcomes. Funding can be used to:

• Support high-quality teaching, and could include staff professional development.
• Provide academic support, such as tutoring.
• Tackle non-academic barriers to educational success. This could include difficulties with attendance, behaviour, and wellbeing.

Schools can choose how to spend their pupil premium money, as they are best placed to identify what would be of most benefit to the children who are eligible.

Is your child eligible?

Schools are given a pupil premium for:

• Children who have qualified for free school meals at any point in the past six years. 
• Children who are or have been looked after under local authority care for more than one day. 
• Children from service families who receive a child pension from the Ministry of Defence.
