Pupil Premium is additional funding provided by the government to enhance the education of disadvantaged students. The criteria for receiving Pupil Premium is as follows:

• Claiming Free School Meals.
• Have claimed Free School Meals in the past 6 years (Ever 6 FSM).
• Looked-after children (LAC) defined in the Children Act 1989 as one who is in the care of, or provided with accommodation by, an English local authority.
• Children who have ceased to be looked after by a local authority in England and Wales because of adoption, a special guardianship order, a child arrangements order or a residence order.
• Service Children.

Every school can select how they choose to use their Pupil premium allocation, as they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for students.

The amount of Pupil Premium Funding received last financial year was used in several creative, practical ways to support entitled students.

PE & Sport Premium Funding

All children should have equal access to high-quality PE provision and opportunities to experience and participate in a wide range of sports and physical activities. Academic achievement can improve in school because of the benefits children can gain.

Schools use the PE and sport premium funding to help achieve these aims. It is not used for core-type school activities. They use it to make additional and sustainable improvements to the PE, sport and physical activity they provide.
