Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium Grant was introduced in April 2011 and is funding to improve education outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in schools in England. Evidence shows that disadvantaged children generally face additional challenges in reaching their potential at school and often do not perform as well as other pupils.

Evidence suggests that pupil premium spending is most effective when schools use a tiered approach, targeting spending across the following three key areas:

1. developing high-quality teaching, for example through professional development and recruitment and retention
2. providing targeted academic support, such as one-to-one or small group tuition
3. tackling non-academic barriers to academic success, such as difficulties with attendance, behaviour and social and emotional wellbeing

Schools must show how they’re using their pupil premium funding by publishing an online statement about how they use their funding and the impact it has on the attainment of disadvantaged pupils.
