Pupil Premium
·
Funding through the Premium
will amount to £1.25bn in 2012-13.
·
From April 2012 the Pupil
Premium will be £600 per deprived pupil in years from Reception to Year 11 in
maintained schools and academies in England
·
The indicator used for
deprivation will be those pupils on the January 2012 School Census who have
been eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) in the last 6 years, known as “Ever 6
FSM”. This will extend the Premium to
another half million pupils.
·
Children
who have been eligible for FSM at any point in the past generally have poorer
academic results than those who have never been eligible for FSM. These pupils
therefore should benefit from the additional support the Pupil Premium funding
will be able to provide.
·
In addition, deprived pupils in
non-mainstream settings who are publicly funded –Special Schools, Non-Maintained
Special Schools ,
Independent Schools
·
Children who have been looked
after continuously for more than six months will also attract a Premium of
£600.
·
A Service Child Premium of £250
for children whose parents are in the armed forces.
·
Up to £50m of the total will be
available to fund a Summer School Programme for disadvantaged pupils to support
their transition to secondary schools in September 2012.
