The pupil premium grant provides funding to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in state-funded schools in England. It’s allocated to schools based on the number of:
- pupils who are recorded as eligible for free school meals, or have been recorded as eligible in the past 6 years (referred to as Ever 6 FSM)
- children previously looked after by a local authority or other state care, including children adopted from state care or equivalent from outside England and Wales
Is your child entitled to free school dinners? Check to see.
- Even if your child gets free school dinner because they’re in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, you should still apply so we can access the funding.
- Even if your child doesn’t have a school dinner, you should still apply so we can access the funding.

On average, pupils who come from a disadvantaged background achieve worse educational outcomes due to the additional challenges they face. Pupil premium supports the aim of narrowing the gap between the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and their peers.
Schools should use their pupil premium to address the specific challenges their disadvantaged pupils face, through high-quality teaching, targeted academic support and wider strategies to help pupils to attend, belong and succeed.
Our Pupil Premium Strategy shows how we use the pupil premium funding:
