Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium and Catch-up Funding

Pupil Premium funding is additional funding allocated to publicly funded schools by the Government. For each student on roll who has received Free School Meals at any point in the last six years, schools receive an additional £935 of funding. There is also additional funding available for students who are children of Service Personnel or looked after (CLA) for 1 day or more/has been adopted from care has left care under; a special guardianship order, a residence order or a child arrangement order. The aim of this funding is to address the national disparity in attainment and progress of Pupil Premium students compared to their non-Pupil Premium peers. The term “disadvantaged” is now used nationally to describe this group of students and to track their progress and achievement.

It is not the funding itself that will improve the attainment gap, but how the academy uses it. Our vision is not merely to narrow gaps but to ensure that every student excels at the academy regardless of their background or prior attainment.
