The Pupil Premium is now a significant part of many schools’ budgets, with some secondaries in Ofsted’s study receiving more than £296,500 this year. So unsurprisingly, the pressure is on heads to be able to show the impact that this money is having.
The funding was first introduced in April 2011 when it was worth £488 for every pupil on free school meals (FSM) or those who have been in care for at least six months. This year, it is worth £900 per pupil, with all children who have been eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years now also being eligible.
