Pupil Premium
What is pupil premium?
Introduced in 2011, the pupil premium is a sum of money given to schools each year by the Government to improve the attainment of disadvantaged children.
This is based on research showing that children from low income families perform less well at school than their peers.
Often, children who are entitled to pupil premium face challenges such as poor language and communication skills, lack of confidence and issues with attendance and punctuality. The pupil premium is intended to directly benefit the children who are eligible, helping to narrow the gap between them and their classmates
Pupil Premium and Coronavirus
Many children who receive pupil premium are eligible for free school meals. If your child usually qualifies for free school meals based on the family receiving certain benefits, this will continue during coronavirus school closures and during the Christmas holidays.
