Pupil Premium

Introduced in 2011, the pupil premium is a sum of money given to schools each year by the Government to improve the attainment of disadvantaged children.

This is based on research showing that children from low income families perform less well at school than their peers.

The pupil premium is intended to directly benefit the children who are eligible, helping to narrow the gap between them and their classmates.

All schools must publish a 'Pupil Premium Statement', detailing how the school intends to use the pupil premium funding to close the gap between the achievement of disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils.
