Pupil Premium

What is Pupil Premium?

The pupil premium grant is funding given to schools each year by the Government to improve the educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils 

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, less family support, 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.
