Pupil Premium Grant
Pupil Premium funding is allocated to schools in addition to main school funding based on the number of students on-roll who are eligible. This is to ensure that every child is given the chance to realise their potential at school, regardless of their background.
Who is eligible for pupil premium and recovery premium?
To be eligible for pupil premium or recovery premium, pupils must be:
- Currently eligible for free school meals (FSM) or have been eligible for FSM at any point in the last 6 years
- Looked after by the local authority
- Previously looked after by the local authority or other state care.
In addition to the above, for recovery premium, all pupils in special schools, special educational needs units in mainstream schools, Pupil Referral Units and general hospital schools are eligible.
Pupil premium and recovery premium are not a personal budget for eligible pupils. Schools can also use the funding to support non-eligible pupils where they have identified needs, for example, pupils who have or have had a social worker or are a carer. In addition, schools can use the funding on whole class approaches, for example, high-quality teaching, which will also benefit non-disadvantaged pupils.
If you feel that your child is eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant but do not currently claim for Free School Meals, please access the Free School Meals information through the link to the application website.
