Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium
The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between Looked After Children, children in the Armed Forces and children eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) (or who have been in receipt of them in the past 6 years), by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.
It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium, allocated to schools is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.
Schools are required to publish the amount of money received and how they have chosen to spend this money.
