Pupil Premium
In 2011-12 the Government launched its Pupil Premium funding. This money is sent to schools based on the numbers of pupils in the school who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM).
From 2012-13, it has been expanded to include all children who have been eligible for FSM within the last 6 years. In addition children whose parents work in the forces or children who are Looked After Children also receive a grant.
This money is allocated to initiatives to ensure pupils reach their full potential, both academically and socially.

Coronavirus Catch-Up Premium
The government announced £1 billion of funding to support children and young people to catch up lost time after school closure. This is especially important for the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds.
Schools should use this funding for specific activities to support their pupils to catch up for lost teaching over the previous months, in line with the curriculum expectations for the next academic year in actions for schools during the coronavirus outbreak.
While schools can use their funding in a way that suits their cohort and circumstances, they are expected to use this funding for specific activities which will help pupils catch up on missed education.
