Pupil Premium
What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium means that the school can claim extra money to support families who have been or still are on a low income. It is also known as Free School Meals although all children in London receive free meals. Children who are in care or have been adopted are also eligible for pupil premium funding. It is there to ensure that all children have equal access to all that school has to offer and that they have the opportunity to succeed as well as their peers.
