Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is additional funding given to schools and academies to:
- raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.
- support children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces.
It was first introduced in April 2011. Since then, the amount schools and academies receive has increased. Schools and academies will receive funding based on the number of pupils who have been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years (Ever6).
The PPG per pupil for 2023 to 2024 is as follows:
| Disadvantaged pupils | Pupil premium per pupil |
| Pupils in year groups reception to year 6 as recorded as Ever 6 FSM | £1,455 |
| Pupils in years 7 to 11 recorded as Ever 6 FSM | £1,035 |
| Looked after children (LAC) defined in Children Act 1989 as one who is in the care of, or provided with accommodation by, an English local authority | £2,530 |
| Children who have ceased to be looked after by a local authority in England and Wales because of adoption, a special guardianship order, a child arrangements order or a residence order | £2,530 |
| Service children | Pupil premium per pupil |
| Pupils in year groups reception to year 11 recorded as Ever 6 service child or in receipt of child pension from the Ministry of Defence | £335 |
The Pupil Premium Grant must be spent in line with the “menu of approaches” set by the Department for Education. Further details on how funding is allocated at Chilwell Croft can be found in the Pupil Premium Strategy document below:
