Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium Grant provides funding for two policies:
– raising the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities to reach their potential.
– supporting children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces.

Pupil Premium gives schools extra funding to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils from reception to year 11.

School accountability for the Pupil Premium:
Pupil Premium is paid to schools as they are best placed to assess what additional provision their pupils need.

Ofsted inspections report on how schools’ use of the funding affects the attainment of their disadvantaged pupils.

Schools are also held to account through performance tables, which include data on:
– The attainment of the pupils who attract the funding
– The progress made by these pupils
– The gap in attainment between disadvantaged pupils and their peers
