Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium is a special funding initiative which targets additional funds to the school for the benefit of children from low income families. These are identified by known eligibility for Free School Meals (FSM). Children who have been looked after (fostered or in care) continuously for more than six months and children of members of the armed forces are also entitled to an element of this funding. Pupils who have been eligible for FSM at any point in the last 6 years are also included in the allocation calculation (known as the Ever 6 measure).  All schools are required to report on the amount of funding received and how this is being used.

At our school we realise that not all children who are eligible for Free School Meals are socially disadvantaged, and that not all pupils who are socially disadvantaged will be registered or qualify for Free School Meals , be looked after or from service families. Therefore, we allocate Pupil Premium funding on a needs basis where we identify priority classes, groups or individuals.

The Pupil Premium amount for 2022 -2023 is £69,560
