Pupil premium allocation 2015 16

All Hallows Catholic College A VOLUNTARY ACADEMY In April 2011 the Government introduced the Pupil Premium, funding which is additional to main school funding. The purpose of the Pupil Premium is that it is deployed by schools to narrow the attainment gap between pupils from low income families and their peers by ensuring that this funding reaches the pupils who need it most. Schools have the freedom to spend this funding as they see fit based upon their knowledge of pupil needs.

‘It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium allocated to schools per Free School Meal (FSM) pupil, is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility.’
