Pupil Premium

DfE Guidance on Pupil Premium Funding

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011. Schools can make decisions about how to spend the Pupil Premium funding to ensure that there is a narrowing of the attainment gap.

The Pupil Premium provides funding for pupils:

• Primary-aged pupils (eligible for free school meals in the past 6 years – FSM6): £1,550 per pupil
• Looked-after children (LAC) and previously looked-after children (PLAC): £2,690 per pupil
• Service children (Service Pupil Premium – SPP): £360 per pupil  

Schools are held accountable for the spending of these monies, and performance tables will capture the achievement of disadvantaged students covered by the Pupil Premium.
