Pupil Premium

---

Introduced in 2011, the pupil premium is a sum of money given to schools each year by the Government to improve access to learning and attainment for children of families eligible for the grant.

Sometimes it is used to support a pupil individually or support groups. It can also be used to support groups or extracurricular activities.

The government will continue to provide schools with additional funding to support or enhance the learning of pupils who are currently or have been entitled to free school meals within the last six years. It's essential that parents/carers apply for free school meals even if the pupil doesn't wish to receive a free school meal. If you think you may be eligible please click on council logo to the right.
