Pupil Premium

The pupil premium grant provides funding to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in state-funded schools in England. Pupil premium funding is allocated to eligible schools based on the number of:

• Pupils who are recorded as eligible for free school meals, or have been recorded as eligible in the past 6 years (referred to as Ever 6 FSM)
• Children previously looked after by a local authority or other state care, including children adopted from state care or equivalent from outside England and Wales

Pupil premium is not a personal budget for individual pupils, and schools do not have to spend pupil premium so that it solely benefits pupils who meet the funding criteria. It can be used:

• To support other pupils with identified needs, such as those who have or have had a social worker, or who act as a carer
• For whole class interventions which will also benefit non-disadvantaged pupils

To find out more, or to check your eligibility, visit the Manchester City Council website or read our Pupil Premium Strategy.

Sport Premium

The purpose of the premium is for schools to make additional and sustainable improvements to the provision of PE and sport for the benefit of all primary-aged pupils to encourage the development of healthy, active lifestyles.

This means schools must use the premium to:

• Build capacity and capability within the school and ensure that improvements to the quality of PE, sport and physical activity provision made now are sustainable and will benefit pupils joining the school in future years; and
• Develop or add to the PE, sport and physical activity that the school provides
