To provide children in receipt of pupil premium funding, an environment that enables them to access learning and extra curriculum opportunities so that they can progress and learn in line with their peers.
The Pupil Premium is additional funding paid to schools in respect of a specific group of pupils (pupils who have been registered for Free School Meals (FSM) at any point in the last 6 years or are looked after by the local authority for more than six months). Schools receive this funding to support their eligible pupils and narrow the attainment gap between them and their peers. In the 2024-25 budget year, the amount paid per pupil is £1,480.
Pupil Premium is also paid to schools to support service children in terms of their emotional and social well-being and possible impact upon attainment. In the 2023-24 budget year, the amount paid was approximately £340 per child. Additional funding is paid to the school to support children who are either adopted or in the care of the local authority which equates to £2570.
