The Pupil Premium Grant is funding provided to schools which is additional to main school funding. It is allocated according to the number of pupils on-roll who have been eligible for free school meals (FSM) within the last 6 years. Pupil Premium payments are also allocated to children of service families and pupils who are ‘Looked After’ (in care) or adopted.
‘Schools, Headteachers and Teachers will decide how to use the Pupil Premium allocation as they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for individual pupils.’

At Charlton Horethorne CE Primary School, we have high aspirations for our children and we believe that no child should be left behind. It is not your background, but your dedication and commitment to learning that make the difference between success and failure. We are determined to ensure that all our children are given every chance to realise their full potential.
Schools are to be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils from low-income families.
Our Pupil Premium staff lead is Mrs Sara Watkins (Headteacher) who works effectively together with staff across the school to ensure that this grant is utilised to best meet the needs of our Pupil Premium Children.
