Pupil Premium

Our Academy uses Pupil Premium to support the learning of the target group of pupils and to close the attainment gap between these and other pupils.

The government provides Pupil Premium funding for schools in relation to the number of pupils on roll who:

• Are in receipt of a free school meal
• Have been in receipt of a free school meals at any point in the last six years
• Are from a Service family
• Are in Local Authority care

From April 2014, funding will also include pupils who:

• Have been adopted from Local Authority Care
• Are subject to Special Guardianship arrangements

The rate in 2024/2025 was £1,480 per pupil. The new per pupil rate from April 2025 is £1,515

The Pupil Premium strategy is reviewed annually.
