What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium is a Government initiative designed to target resources on those pupils deemed to be from a disadvantaged background.
Pupil premium funding is allocated to eligible schools based on the number of:
- pupils who are recorded as eligible for free school meals, or have been recorded as eligible in the past 6 years (referred to as Ever 6 FSM)
- children previously looked after by a local authority or other state care, including children adopted from state care or equivalent from outside England and Wales
- children whose parents are in service or as part of a commitment to the armed forces covenant.
For more information please see Department for Education website.
