Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium is additional funding allocated to schools for pupils who are in receipt of free school meals (FSM) or who have been eligible for free school meals over the past 6 years (Ever 6 FSM). In addition an allocation is also made to pupils in local authority care for more than 6 months (CLA) or Service children (Ever 5 Service Premium).
The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is money used to ensure that pupils who are at risk of underachievement are able to reach their full potential and access the same opportunities, provision and enrichment as those pupils not eligible for PPG.
Our long term objective is to build a systematic and progressive structure of provision which will ‘close’ the gap’ so that the attainment of pupils in receipt of the PPG is in line with their peers.
