Pupil Premium

What is Pupil Premium?

The Government believes that the Pupil Premium funding, which is additional to the main school budget, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers by ensuring that funding reaches the pupils who need it most.

From April 2023, the Pupil Premium will be worth:

• £342 for Early Years students who are in receipt of Free School Meals.
• £1,455 for primary aged students, who at any point in the past 6 years, have been in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM.).
• £2530 for any student who has been continuously looked after for the past six months.
• £2530 for any student who has been adopted from care under the Adoption and Children Act 2002, or who has left care under a Special Guardianship or Residence Order.
• £310 for students whose parent/parents are currently serving in the armed forces or are in receipt of a pension from the MoD.
