Pupil and Sports Premium

Schools are allocated pupil premium and sports funding each year to support pupils and activities in school.

The money is designed to support the additional learning needs of identified groups of children by helping to “close the gap” between them and their peers.

Schools are free to use the funding in the most effective way for the community they serve. However, schools are responsible for the details of how this money is spent each year and to show the effectiveness of that spending.

Pupils eligible for funding

Based upon our annual January census of pupils, the following pupils are eligible to receive the funding:

  • Pupils currently eligible to receive free school meals (FSM)
  • FSM Ever 6 – children eligible for FSM over the past 6 years
  • Children looked after by the local authority
  • Adopted children from Care/SG/RO
  • Children of parents/carers currently serving in the armed forces

This funding is carefully monitored and reported on each year to assess the impact of how it was used and the benefits made to children.
