What is Pupil Premium Funding?
Pupil Premium is additional funding allocated to schools for pupils who are eligible for free school meals, or have been at any point in the last six years.
Historically, there is a national trend of under-performance of children eligible for free school meals. The main purpose of Pupil Premium funding is to close the gap in attainment between these children and their peers, raising aspirations and helping them to reach their full potential.

Pupil Premium 2018-19 Proposed Funding
The Pupil Premium is designed to improve the educational experiences and outcomes of children and young people from low income families. The school receives funding to help ensure we provide additional support to raise the achievement of disadvantaged pupils: This is the Pupil Premium. Every child who is eligible for free school meals or who has been in receipt of them in the last six years, receives £1320 for the academic year. Pupils who are in local authority care receive £1900 and service pupils receive £300. All of these pupils are referred to as ‘Ever 6’. It is our role to ensure we allocate and spend this funding responsibly in order to have an impact on their progress and close the gap between the non-pupil premium pupils.
Since September 2014, all pupils in EYFS and KS1 have received universal free school meals, meaning all pupils aged 4-7 can have a hot meal, every day, in school. Those pupils in KS1, whose families are considered disadvantaged due to their income, are in receipt of free school meals too. Since 2015 Pupils in Nursery have also been eligible for pupil premium funding, receiving £302.
