Pupil Premium allocation is based on school census data, the most recent being January 2022.

Pupil Premium is allocated to schools for children of statutory school age (Reception to Year 6) from low-income families who are known to have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years (known also as the Ever 6 FSM measure). It is also allocated to children who are in the care of, or provided with accommodation by, an English local authority (looked-after child); to children who have ceased to be looked after by a local authority in England and Wales because of adoption, a special guardianship order, or child arrangements order; and to children whose parents are currently in the armed forces. Its purpose is to enable schools to provide support and boost the academic attainment of children from these families.

The PP amounts relevant to our school are as follows:

• £1385 per pupil deemed as Ever 6 FSM

• £2410 per pupil deemed LAC or post-LAC

If pupils belong to both groups, they will receive the higher allocation only.
