Pupil Premium

What is Pupil Premium? 

The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gaps between them and their peers.

Why is this Important? 

In a majority of schools educational outcomes for pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds are much weaker than their peers. Disadvantaged pupils are more likely to not achieve GCSE grades according to their potential; they are more likely to have poor attendance; they are more likely to be excluded from school; they are more likely to not be in education, employment or training after leaving school. Pupils of all abilities are affected. There is evidence that life chances for disadvantaged pupils can be improved with targeted support and the pupil premium grant helps with this.
