Introduction to the Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium is an allocation of funding, in addition to main school funding, which schools receive according to the number of children in specific groups. The governor responsible for Pupil Premium is Cathryn Webb.

Schools receive Pupil Premium funding for:

• all children who are eligible for free school meals (FSM)
• all children who have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last 6 years
• all children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months by someone other than their immediate family.
