Pupil Premium Grant
The pupil premium is a grant given to schools to close the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers, and to support pupils with parents in the armed forces (this part of it is also known as the ‘service premium’).
Schools receive money for each pupil of compulsory school age who fits the eligibility criteria. Free School Meal eligibility forms a large part of this allocation but there are other criteria too, such as parents in the armed forces, Adoption status and Local authority in Care.
