Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium is additional funding provided by the UK government to support schools in improving educational outcomes for disadvantaged students. It is aimed at children from low-income families, including those eligible for free school meals, children in care, or those who have left care. Schools can use this funding in various ways, such as providing extra teaching support, resources, or enrichment activities, to help close the achievement gap between disadvantaged students and their peers. The initiative recognizes the impact of socioeconomic factors on education and seeks to promote equality in learning opportunities.
