Pupil Premium and Sports Funding

Pupil Premium Funding 

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated to schools to work with pupils who have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years.

The government believes that the pupil premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.

The government also provides funding for those pupils who are classed as Looked after (LAC) or in Military families.

Sport Premium Funding 

Schools with over 17 pupils receive £16000, plus £10 per child for children in Reception- Y6 pupils.  This will change from Sept 26  and schools will work with PE companies to ensure Sports are delivered in school.
