The Pupil Premium Grant is additional funding given to schools and academies to:
- raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap/ diminish the difference between them and their peers;
- support children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces or whom are 'looked after'.
Schools and academies will receive funding based on the number of pupils who have been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years (Ever 6).
