Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is a Government initiative that is allocated to Local Authorities and schools with pupils who are eligible for free school meals (FSM), children who have been ‘Looked After’ (LAC) by the Local Authority and children from a service family. The premium is provided to support these children in reaching their full potential and to narrow the attainment gap between themselves and their peers.  Schools have the freedom to spend the premium in a way they think will best support the raising of attainment of those children who are entitled to the premium. The Pupil Premium Grant for 2025/26 is £1,515 for those eligible for FSM (free school meals), £2,630 for Looked After Children, £350 for children from a service family and Early Years Pupil Premium is £570.

All members of staff and governors accept responsibility for Pupil Premium Grant pupils and are committed to meeting their pastoral, social, and academic needs within a caring school environment. This is an essential, integral part of the inclusive ethos of the whole school community.
