‘The Best in Everyone’
Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools so that they can support their disadvantaged pupils and close
the attainment gap between them and their peers. The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated to
schools to work with pupils who:
•
have been registered for free school meals at any point in the last six years (known as ‘Ever 6 FSM’)
•
have been looked after continuously for more than six months (LAC)
•
are children of service personnel
The Pupil Premium grant per pupil for 2017-18 is as follows:
Disadvantaged pupils
Pupil premium per pupil
Pupils in years 7 to 11 recorded as Ever 6 FSM

Looked after children (LAC) defined in Children Act 1989 as one who is in the care of, or
provided with accommodation by, an English local authority
£1,900.00
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

The funding is intended to allow additional resources to be applied in improving achievement of students who are possi-
bly disadvantaged by low family incomes. National data shows that FSM students are more likely to underachieve than
students who are not entitled to FSM.
