The Pupil Premium is allocated according to the numbers of children from families who are currently known to be eligible, or have been eligible at some point within the last 6 years, for free school meals (FSM/Ever 6); and children who are deemed to be ‘looked after’ by the Local Authority. Service Premium is also allocated for children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces, or have been within the last 5 years.
It is for us to decide how this additional funding is spent but we are accountable for this. We must show the impact the funding has on supporting children with their learning to ensure at least good attainment and progress.
