Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is the additional funding which is allocated to schools based on the number of pupils who have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point over the last six years.
PPG also provides funding for children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months and the children of service personnel (Children In Care). The PPG is aimed at addressing the current underlying inequalities which exist between children from disadvantaged backgrounds and their more affluent peers. The Education Policy Institute states that disadvantaged pupils are on average 18 months behind their peers by the age of 16, being nearly twice as likely to leave education without good grades in English and Maths.
Our full Pupil Premium report includes a 3 year plan (starting September 2023,) an analysis of PP outcomes, details of how funding is being spent and its relative impact on PP students.
