Pupil Premium & covid catch-up
What is ‘Pupil Premium’?
Pupil Premium (PP) funding is an additional sum allocated to schools by the government in addition to the main school budget. It is awarded on the basis of the number of children eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) either currently or at any time in the past 6 years. Looked After children, and those previously Looked After also receive a premium.
