PUPIL PREMIUM 2016_17 BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Pupil Premium has been paid to schools since April 2011.
The government believes that the pupil premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to tackle the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupil who need it most.

The funding is allocated on a financial year basis (i.e. April to March) and is based upon information gathered in the January School Census for ‘Ever 6’ numbers, this relates to pupils who have been entitled to FSM anytime over the last 6 year, service children and the number of students who are in care which is established from the local authority’s Looked After Children (LAC) return.

PUPIL PREMIUM FUNDING 2016_17

For the financial year 2016_17 the pupil premium amount per student remains at £935. The rate for looked-after Children is £1,900 per annum. The rate for Post Looked After Children is £1,900. The rate for Service Children is reduced to £300. Pupil Premium Summer School Funding does not continue in 2016.
