Pupil Disadvantage Statement 2014-15
Background
The government believe that the Disadvantage Pupils, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their wealthier peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.
