Pupil Premium is funding allocated by the government that the school receives, in addition to its delegated budget, for children from low income families eligible for free school meals; those who are looked after(LAC) or previously looked after (PLAC) or children from Forces families. The intention of this is to:

• raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities to reach their potential
• support children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces

The grant may be used to support children in the following ways:

• For the purposes of educational benefit of pupils registered at that school
• for the benefit of pupils registered at other maintained schools or academies
• on community services whose provision furthers the benefit of pupils at the school

From 2021-22, schools must demonstrate and share their spending plan linked to research evidence. The elements that make up the plan include:

• support for teaching (QFT, CPD, Recruitment, Retention)
• targeted academic support (tutoring, 1-1, structured interventions)
• wider strategies (attendance, behaviour, well-being)
