The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers. It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.
Pupil Premium is allocated to schools and is clearly identifiable. It is paid to schools according to the number of pupils who have:
- registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years
- been in care for 1 day or longer
- are service children
In the 2020 to 2021 financial year primary schools receive £1,345 for each eligible free school meals child, £2345 for each child eligible ‘Looked after’ child and £310 for each eligible service child.
