What is Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England

It is allocated for schools to:

• Improve the academic outcomes of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities 

• Close the attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers across the country

Children eligible for Free School Meals and Looked-After Children are groups who have been identified as being vulnerable to falling behind other children.

Schools are free to spend the PPG as they see fit. However, schools are held accountable for how they have used the additional funding.  Since September 2012, schools have been required to publish online information about how they have used the Pupil Premium.
