The Pupil Premium (PP) funding is designed to ensure that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.  The funding is allocated to schools and is calculated on the number of pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years, the number who are looked after or adopted and the number of service children.

Pupil Premium funding is allocated to most effectively target additional support where it is needed most and schools decide how to spend this funding so that the attainment of these identified vulnerable groups can be best supported.. There is a nominated governor for pupil premium. The Pupil Premium Strategy is a working document that is reviewed internally at key points throughout the year, with an evaluation of impact over the complete year be published in the following Autumn term.
