Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is an amount of money the government allocates to each school to close the attainment gap between those pupils coming from disadvantaged backgrounds, who may also be in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM), and their peers.

The funding is intended to support children who may be vulnerable to underachieving. Pleasse read the information below which gives details on our pupil premium grant and how we allocate the funding.
