What is the Pupil Premium?
The Pupil Premium is grant funding and is in addition to the school’s Delegated Budget. It is allocated to children from low – income families that are known to be eligible for free school meals (FSM) or who have been eligible for FSM in the past 6 years (‘Ever 6 FMS’), as deprivation at earlier stages of education is perceived to impact upon learning and prior attainment, regardless of the current parental income situation. The allocation was £900 in 2013-2014 and increased to £1,300 for the academic year 2014-2015. It is now £1,320 for this academic year 2015-16.
Children who have been looked after (LAC) for 1 day or more are also eligible. “In East Sussex Headteachers have agreed for the Pupil Premium for Looked After Children to be managed by the Virtual Headteacher (£1,900) to ensure the money is spent smartly and in a co-ordinated way, with carers being consulted and closely involved”. The funding for pupils who are adopted or under a Special Guardianship or Residence Order is £1,900 for the academic year 2015-2016.
A premium is also paid for children of service personnel. This was £300 in the academic year 2013-2014 and £300 in the academic year 2014-2015. It remains at £300 for the academic year 2015-2016.
Pupil Premium Funding is used to increase pupil progress, to raise achievement, attainment and success levels.
