In 2011 the Government announced the introduction of Pupil Premium funding to support policies directed at disadvantaged pupils. This additional funding is provided to:

• Raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap with their peers.
• Support children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces.

For the academic year 2021-22 the grants received per pupil are as follows:

Pupil eligibility criteria	Amount of funding for each secondary-aged pupil per year	Funding is paid to
Pupils who are eligible for free school meals, or have been eligible in the past 6 years	£955	School
Pupils who have been adopted from care or have left care	£2,345	School
Children who are looked after by the local authority	£2,345	Local Authority

At Prenton High School for Girls we aim to raise the attainment, progress and aspirations of disadvantaged students by providing:

• High quality personalised teaching and learning that meets the needs of all students, including Pupil Premium students
• Personalised intervention for students who need additional support in identified areas
• A wide range of enrichment opportunities that enable Pupil Premium students to take part in different activities they may not have had the chance to experience before
