Pupil Premium

PUPIL PREMIUM STRATEGY

The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gaps between them and their peers.

In the 2024 to 2025 financial year, schools will receive the following funding:

• £1,480 for pupils in reception year to year 6 who have been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years
• £2,570 for pupils in reception year to year 6 who have left local-authority care because of adoption, special guardianship order, child arrangements order or a residence order
