What is Pupil Premium?

The pupil premium is additional funding given to schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.

£1,320 for primary-aged pupils

£302.10 for Nursery-aged pupils

Schools will also receive £1,900 for each looked-after pupil who:

• has been looked after for 1 day or more
• was adopted from care on or after 30 December 2005, or left care under:
• a special guardianship order
