The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.

Financial year 2023 to 2024

In the 2023 to 2024 financial year, schools will receive the following funding for each child registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years:

• Schools receive £1,455 for every primary age pupil, or £1,035 for every secondary age pupil, who claims free school meals, or who has claimed free school meals in the last 6 years.

Schools will also receive £2,530 for each pupil who has left local-authority care because of 1 of the following: 

• adoption
• a special guardianship order
• a child arrangements order 
• a residence order 

If a pupil has been registered as eligible for free school meals and has also left local-authority care for any of the reasons above, they will attract the £2,530 rate.
