Pupil Premium Spending
What is Pupil Premium?
- Schools are given an amount of money to spend, over and above their allocated budget, known as Pupil Premium.
- This additional money is given to schools to support the needs of pupils who are disadvantaged and at risk of underachievement.
- It is intended to support these pupils in reaching their full potential.
How is Pupil Premium allocated to schools?
- The amount a school receives for Pupil Premium is determined by the number of pupils known to be eligible (currently or within the last 6 years) for free school meals (FSM).
- This is known as Ever 6 FSM.
