Alwoodley Primary Pupil Premium School Summary 2023 - 2024

The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England.   It's designed to help disadvantaged pupils of all abilities perform better, and close the gap between them and their peers.

In the 2023 to 2024 financial year, schools will receive £1,455 for pupils in Reception to Year 6 who are eligible for free school meals or have been at any point in the last 6 years. 

Schools will also receive £2,530 for each pupil identified in the spring school census as having left local-authority care because of one of the following:

•  adoption

•  a special guardianship order

•  a child arrangements order

•  a residence order

Children who have been in local authority care, for one day or more, also attract £2,530 of  pupil premium funding.

Schools are free to spend the pupil premium as they see fit. However they will be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils from low-income families. Our strategy is for three years, however will be evaluated regularly (three times a year) by staff and governors.
