Pupil Premium Statement
Publicly-funded schools in England get extra funding from the government to help them improve the attainment of their disadvantaged pupils.
Evidence shows that children from disadvantaged backgrounds:
-
generally face extra challenges in reaching their potential at school
-
often do not perform as well as their peers
The pupil premium grant is designed to allow schools to help disadvantaged pupils by improving their progress and the exam results they achieve.
​
It’s up to school leaders to decide how to spend the pupil premium. This is because school leaders are best-placed to assess their pupils’ needs and use funding to improve attainment.
​
For the Year 2022-2023, schools have also been given an additional allocation called the School Recovery Grant. This is in addition to the Pupil Premium.
