Please read the information below which gives details of our Pupil Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.

What is the Pupil Premium?

The Pupil Premium was introduced by the Department for Education in 2011 as additional funding in order to address the underlying inequalities for potentially vulnerable groups and individuals. This includes those eligible for free school meals, those who are Looked After Children (LAC) and those from services families. This service premium is designed to address the emotional and social well-being of pupils and to ensure successful continuity of education for children of service families.
