The Pupil Premium Grant is additional funding given to schools and academies to:

• raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.
• support children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces.

It was first introduced in April 2011.  Since then the amount schools receive has increased.  Schools receive funding based on the number of pupils who have been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years.

We are grateful to all those parents and carers who have applied for Pupil Premium funding for their children. We can use the money in ways that enable all children to maximise their learning, although we do target it at the children who receive it wherever possible.

The amounts for 2025-26 are as follows:

• £1,515 for pupil premium children
• £2,630 for looked after and adopted children  
• £2,630 for service premium children
