What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium is extra funding given to schools by the government to support children from lower-income families or those facing additional challenges. These challenges might include lower attendance, reduced confidence, or difficulty with communication. The goal is to help every child thrive by providing extra support and opportunities so they can reach their full potential.
Registering for Pupil Premium helps your child’s school receive vital funding to provide tailored support and opportunities that can make a real difference in their education.
Even if your circumstances change and you no longer qualify for benefits, your child will continue to receive Pupil Premium support for six more years.
