Pupil Premium
About the Government funded Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium Funding was introduced by the Department for Education (DfE) in 2011 as additional funding for pupils who receive Free School Meals (FSM) or who are Looked After Children (CLA).
Pupil Premium is additional school funding for under resources children. It is paid directly to your child's school to improve the quality of their education.

Our strategy supports children through:
• High quality universal teaching
• A variety of targeted interventions
