Pupil Premium is additional funding provided by the Department for Education to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers. The funding is allocated to schools based on the number of pupils who are:
- Eligible for free school meals (FSM), or have been at any point in the last six years (Ever 6)
- Looked-after children (LAC)
- Previously looked-after children (PLAC)
- Children from families with parents in the armed forces (Service Premium)
Our Vision
At Netherthorpe School, our vision is to create an inclusive environment where every student can thrive and reach their full potential. We believe in empowering learners through a strong sense of community, support, and shared experiences. Our commitment to nurturing and celebrating individual strengths allows us to foster a culture where students feel valued and engaged.
As part of our vision, we actively focus on bridging the gap for disadvantaged pupils through initiatives like the Pupil Premium. By providing targeted support and resources, we strive to ensure that all students—regardless of their background—have equal opportunities to succeed academically and personally. Together, we learn, enjoy, and succeed.
