Pupil Premium Grant
The pupil premium grant is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England. It’s a school-level grant that gives schools extra resources to help them meet challenges, including those arising from deprivation.
It’s allocated for schools to:
- improve the academic outcomes of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities
- close the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers across the country
The government feels that school leaders are best placed to decide how to use the pupil premium to improve disadvantaged pupils’ academic attainment. Pupil needs will differ and will cost differing amounts to address.
Some spending will be on whole school strategies, including improving the quality of teaching, which have the potential to impact positively on all pupils.
To see our strategy going forward and the review of the impact during the last academic year please see our Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2024/25 to 2026/27.
