Pupil Premium & Year 7 Catch Up
Pupil Premium Grant in Summary
All publicly funded schools receive additional funding to support the attainment of children who:
- Currently receive free school meals
- Have been in receipt of free school meals within the last six years
- are recorded as eligible for free school meals, or have been recorded as eligible in the past 6 years (referred to as Ever 6 FSM)
- children previously looked after by a local authority or other state care, including children adopted from state care or equivalent from outside England and Wales
This funding is known as the Pupil Premium Grant (PPG). Schools are required to publish the amount of additional funding they have received, how it has been spent, and the impact it has had upon raising the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and closing gaps in achievement between them and their peers.
Service Pupil Premium
Service pupil premium is additional funding for schools with children and young people of service families.
Pupils are eligible if they meet any of the following criteria:
- one of their parents is serving in the regular armed forces (including pupils with a parent who is on full commitment as part of the full-time reserve service) or is in the armed forces of another nation and is stationed in England and they have been registered as a ‘service child’ in the most recent autumn DfE school census
- they do not currently have ‘service child’ status but they have been registered as a ‘service child’ on any DfE school census in the past 6 years
- one of their parents died whilst serving in the armed forces and the pupil receives a pension under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme or the War Pensions Scheme
