How can Pupil Premium funding support your child?

Pupil Premium is funding allocated to schools for the specific purpose of boosting the attainment of pupils from low-income families.  Funding is based on children registered for a free school meal and children who have been in care for more than six months.

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to free school meals.  Pupil premium children will continue to receive free meals after Year 2.

We are determined to ensure that our children are given every chance to realise their full potential. Pupil premium funding, along with allocations made from the schools own budget will help ensure this money is spent to maximum effect. 

 “It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium, allocated to schools per FSM pupil, is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.”
