Pupil Premium
What is the Pupil Premium Grant?
Pupil Premium is a grant allocated to schools to support socially disadvantaged pupils. Pupil Premium is not allocated to individual students and is not an individual entitlement. Pupil Premium Grant is calculated according to the number of children in the school eligible for Free School Meals over the last 6 years, with the purpose of ensuring all pupils reach their full potential, both academically and socially. Schools decide how Pupil Premium funding is spent, because they are best placed to assess what additional provision and initiatives should be put in place to ensure maximum progress for each of the pupils within their care, so that each fulfils their achievement potential.
