2017-18 Funding

Additional funding is now provided by the government for pupils eligible for Free School Meals as well as those who have parents in the armed forces or are children in care. This funding is known as Pupil Premium.

In 2017/18 the level of premium is £1320 per pupil known to be eligible for Free School Meals or for those who have received Free School Meals in the last 6 years (Ever 6). Children in care and adopted children receive £1900 and children whose parents served or are serving in the Armed Forces receive £300. Children eligible for Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) receive 53 pence per hour of childcare that they receive.

For 2017/18, we receive £31,820 Pupil Premium funding plus 53p for every hour of childcare that an EYPP pupil receives.

The following table demonstrates how this funding is being spent. Provision in italics has been identified and will be implemented during this academic year. Some funding remains unallocated and will be used as appropriate during the year.
