What is Pupil Premium?

 

The Pupil Premium grant is a sum of money allocated to local authorities and schools with pupils on roll that are known to have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any time in the last six years. It is intended to enable schools to provide targeted support to help vulnerable children to reach their full potential and diminish any differences between disadvantaged pupils and their peers. Schools have the freedom to spend the Premium, which is additional to the existing school budget, in any way they think will best support the raising of attainment for the most vulnerable pupils.
