The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools based on the number of children who have been registered for free school meals (FSM) at any point during the last six years (known as Ever 6), children who have been in care for more than six months and children who have a parent serving in the armed services. The Department for Education state it is for schools to decide how to use the Pupil Premium allocation, as they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for individual pupils within their responsibility.
