What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers. It was first introduced in April 2011. Since then the amount schools receive has increased. A school receives funding based on the number of pupils who are eligible for free school meals in any given year.

£1455 for each eligible primary aged pupil
£2530 for each 'looked after' or post adoption child
Based on our numbers in the October 2022 census, our pupil premium allocation for 2023-24 is £10,948
In our last school census 14.89% of pupils qualified for Pupil Premium.
