Pupil Premium

 

The Pupil Premium is a Government initiative introduced in April 2011 which aims to support students who are considered, for one of a range of social, emotional or financial reasons, to be disadvantaged. The additional funding is provided to publicly funded schools in England to address the underlying inequalities between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged students, and to help schools ensure they raise the attainment of these students.

Pupil Premium funding is not intended to be an individual ‘account’ per student. Rather, schools take an overview of their whole Pupil Premium budget, and the needs of all Pupil Premium students, then direct key strategies to help raise progress and attainment levels amongst Pupil Premium students. It is only by using the money as one budget that high cost support, e.g. staffing for one-to-one/ small group tuition can be funded.

The following table indicates the funding allocated by the Department for Education for the academic year 2023-24:
