Pupil Premium funding is used by schools to overcome barriers to achievement for disadvantaged students. This funding is allocated to schools to provide financial support for students who:

• Were registered as eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last 6 years.
• Were adopted from care, left care under a special guardianship order, child arrangements order or residence order.
• Were in local-authority care for 1 day or more. Funding for these students goes to the local authority that looks after the child, not the school.
