Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium and Pupil Premium+ are sums of money allocated by Local Authorities for the purpose of narrowing the gap in attainment between different groups of pupils. The basis of this allocation is taken from the DfE School’s Consensus which is returned in January of each year. Under guidelines issued by the Government the grant must be spent by the College for the educational benefit of pupils registered at that College.

Our Pupil Premium and Pupil Premium+ funding is variable from year to year, consequently we therefore have made the decision as a College to add additional funds to the amount received so as to make them as effective as possible in the activities selected, and thereby ensuring they really do make a difference to those pupils who attract the payments.
