The Pupil Premium Grant, which is additional to main school funding, is allocated 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 is allocated to children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for FSM in both mainstream and non-mainstream settings and children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months.
Research into how to effectively spend this money has been completed by many respected bodies like the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) and The Sutton Trust. Research supports the leaders of a school to find ways to utilise this funding by highlighting strategies which will have the greatest benefit to learning.
