How we spend the pupil premium
The Pupil Premium has been allocated to schools by the Government as a mechanism to support children who are eligible for free school meals (FSM) or Looked After (LAC). This extra Government funding aims to help to narrow the gap between FSM and LAC children and their peers. Whilst the amount of Pupil Premium is decided by the Government, they believe that schools are best placed to assess the most appropriate additional provision that should be made for the individual pupils.
