The Pupil Premium is allocated to children from low income families who are eligible for free school meals, children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months and children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces. Its purpose is to address inequality, ensure that there is funding to tackle disadvantage and support emotional and social well-being; the key is to guarantee that all such support reaches the pupils who need it most.
The leaders of the Nar Valley Federation take great care over prioritising how these funds should be spent. Please see the attached document regarding where and how we prioritise using this money to achieve the greatest impact.
