Every child a learner, we all learn together
Pupil Premium
Pupil premium is extra money for schools to help disadvantaged pupils of all abilities achieve their full potential.
The amount of pupil premium funding that schools receive is decided by how many disadvantaged pupils they have, schools then receive funding per pupil premium-eligible child.
Schools must spend their pupil premium and recovery premium in line with a 'menu' of approaches, based on expert evidence of what works when it comes to improving the outcomes of disadvantaged children.
Schools must allocate spending across the following three key areas:
- Support high-quality teaching, such as staff professional development
- Provide targeted academic support, such as tutoring
- Tackle non-academic barriers to academic success, such as difficulties with attendance, behaviour and social and emotional wellbeing.
It is up to schools to decide exactly how to spend their pupil premium so that it supports pupils who need it the most
