What is the Pupil Premium Grant?

  • The Pupil Premium Grant is additional funding paid directly to schools by the government in respect of their disadvantaged students. It is designed to help disadvantaged pupils perform better and close the gap between them and their peers. By paying Pupil Premium funding directly to schools, it reaches the students who need it most, as the schools are best placed to allocate the funds.
  • The grant was introduced in 2011 and was enhanced in 2014.
