In 2011/12 the Government launched its Pupil Premium funding initiative. This money is sent to schools based on the numbers of children who are either eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) or are Looked After Children (LAC). From 2012/13 it has been expanded to include all children who have been eligible for FSM within the last 6 years. The Pupil Premium funding that is received by the school annually is used in a variety of ways in order to improve pupil attainment and to help overcome any barriers to learning.
