Pupil Premium Grant Statement 2019-2020
Pupil Premium: the policy context
“National evidence shows that economically disadvantaged pupils perform less well on average than non-disadvantaged pupils, at all levels of school education; furthermore, economically disadvantaged pupils are also associated with slower progress compared to their peers with the same level of attainment. The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is additional funding for schools to use to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and to close the gap with their peers.”
