Additional Funding
The academy receives additional funding through the Pupil Premium Grant. Please see below for information on our spending strategies and their impact.
Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium funding is allocated to schools to support students who have been registered for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years (known as Ever 6 FSM).
The Government believes that Pupil Premium—funding which is additional to main school funding—is the best way to address the underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their peers.
Pupil Premium funding is available to schools to support pupils who fall into the categories below:
Pupils currently in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM), or who have been eligible at any point in the last six years (Ever 6).
- Children who are looked after (Looked After Children).
- Children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces.
- Children adopted from care under the Adoption and Children Act 2002, and children who have left care under a Special Guardianship or Residence Order.
