Pupil Premium

What is Pupil Premium Funding?

Pupil premium is additional funding for schools for students who: 

• Are registered for free school meals; 
• Have been registered for free school meals at any point in the past 6 years; 
• Are, or have been, in care; or 
• Have parents in the armed forces. 

School spends pupil premium funding on:   

• Educational provision/resources 
• Academic interventions 
• Curriculum trips  
• Contributions to uniform and travel  
• Contributions to extracurricular activities such as peripatetic music lessons, LAMDA, DofE and residential and non-curricular trips and visits 

Pupil premium is not a personal budget for individual students and schools do not have to spend pupil premium so that it solely benefits students who meet the funding criteria. It can be used: 

• to support other students with identified needs, such as those who have or have had a social worker, or who act as a carer.  
• for whole class/group interventions which will also benefit non-disadvantaged students.
