Pupil Premium & Sports Premium

Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium is additional funding given to school to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated to school to work with pupils who have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years.

Schools also receive funding for children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months, and children of service personnel.

The Government believes that it is for school to decide how the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG), allocated per eligible pupil, is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.

Schools are required to publish online information about how they have used the Premium. This is to ensure parents and others are made fully aware of the attainment of pupils covered by the Premium.

Sports Premium

The PE & Sports Grant is an allocation of additional funding provided to schools to improve PE & Sport participation and ensure that all pupils develop healthy lifestyles. Please read the information below which gives details of our PE and Sport Premium Grant and how we allocate the funding.
