The Pupil Premium is additional funding for schools to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gaps between them and their peers. This dedicated team works to ensure Pupil Premium students can access the curriculum, as well as, if not better than their non-pupil premium counterparts. Nationally, there is an attainment gap between Pupil Premium and Non-Pupil Premium students, and we have a range of methods and support to help reduce this gap.
A full outline of the spending, strategy, and full outline of costings; with impact data, can be found in our 2022-2023 Pupil Premium Strategy document, linked at the top of the page.
