Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium Allocation
The Secretary of State for Education lays down the following terms and conditions on which assistance is given in relation to the pupil premium grant (PPG) payable to schools and local authorities for the financial year beginning 1 April 2017.
PPG provides funding for two policies:
- Raising the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities to reach their potential
- Supporting children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces
Pupils considered disadvantaged are eligible for PPG funding. These include:
- Pupils in year groups’ reception to Year 6 recorded as receiving free school meals (FSM) (or in receipt of FSM in the last 6 years)
- Looked after children (LAC) (including those looked after for at least one day)
- Post LAC i.e. those children who have left local authority care through adoption, special guardianship or other arrangements since January 2017
- Service The pupil premium grant (PPG) is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gap between them and their peers
- £1,320 per pupil for each Ever 6 FSM FTE pupil aged 4 and over in year groups reception to year 6, except where the pupil is allocated the LAC or post-LAC premium.
- £2,300 per pupil for each post-LAC in year groups reception to year 11.
- £300 for each pupil aged 4 and over in year groups reception to year 11 who is either Ever 6 service child FTE or in receipt of pensions under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and the War Pensions Scheme (WPS).
The grant may be spent in the following ways:
- For the purpose of the school; that is for the educational benefit of pupils registered at that school
- For the benefit of pupils registered at other maintained schools or academies
- On community facilities; for example, services whose provision furthers any charitable purpose for the benefit of pupils at the school or their families, or people who live or work in the locality in which the school is situated
