Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium Rationale
Premium funding is an allocation of additional funding provided to schools to support children who are vulnerable to underachievement and to support the narrowing of the achievement gap. Premium is funding the government have allocated to pupils in the following categories:
- pupils who have applied for and meet the criteria for free school meals or have been eligible for free school meals within the last 6 years
- pupils who are adopted or in local authority care
- pupils from a military family
This money is allocated to school budgets based on the numbers of pupils in school who are in the above categories.
We decide how the money should be spent. In our school the money is allocated to support pupils in reaching their full potential both academically and socially.
Reporting:
