The Pupil Premium is a grant we receive from the government in addition to our main school funding.  The planned expenditure of our Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is shown below.

What is the Pupil Premium Grant?

This grant is an amount of money allocated to schools based on the number of the 'most disadvantaged' children a school has.  The Government offers the grant to assist in addressing the current underlying inequalities between vulnerable groups of children and their peers, by ensuring that funding to tackle any disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most. Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium Grant as they feel appropriate.

‘Most Disadvantaged’ is a government definition. It includes children who  have may have been disadvantaged at any point in their life and includes children who:

• have had free school meals, due to low income at any point in the school life
• are 'looked after' by the local authority
• adopted from care
• are children of Service families

Please see our PPG Strategy and PPG ‘Passport’ below to see how we spend this funding.
