Per pupil funding rates 

Your school will be allocated the pupil premium for eligible pupils aged 4 and over, in year groups from reception to year 11.

Allocations are based on the:

  • October 2023 school census, for mainstream and special schools
  • January 2024 school census, for pupil referral units (PRUs) and alternative provision (AP) academies

*As well as disadvantaged pupils, the pupil premium is used to support pupils with parents in the regular armed forces. Service children aren't considered to be disadvantaged
