What is Pupil Premium funding?

Pupil Premium funding is allocated to schools in respect of: 

• children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM); and
• children who have been looked after continuously for more than 6 months.

As of 2012–13, this also includes students eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years (known as the Ever 6 FSM measure).

What is Pupil Premium funding for?

Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit to "close the gap" between children from disadvantaged circumstances and those above the low-income threshold.

This means that Pupil Premium funding is not linked to a specific child, but is to be used for overall impact. However, Ribston is held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support students from low-income families.
