Premiums and Funding

Pupil Premium 

The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers. It is allocated to children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM), Looked after Children, children adopted from care and Service Forces children. It also includes pupils who have been eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years (known as the Ever 6 FSM measure). Pupil Premium funding is available to both mainstream and non-mainstream schools, such as special schools and pupil referral units.

If you think your child may be eligible to receive this additional funding and support but are not sure whether the school are aware of this, please speak in confidence to the school office. Alternatively, you can call Derbyshire County Council on 01629 536481 to check eligibility.

Primary Sports Funding 

The government currently provides additional funding to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools. This funding - provided jointly by the Departments for Education, Health and Culture, Media and Sport – is being allocated to primary school headteachers.  The funding is ring-fenced and therefore can only be spent on provision of PE and sport in schools.
