Pupil Premium Funding 2024 to 2025

Use of Pupil Premium at St Luke’s Academic Year 2024-25

What is Pupil Premium Funding?
The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.
Pupil Premium Funding is available to both mainstream and non-mainstream schools, such as special schools and pupil referral units.
In the 2024 to 2025 financial year, St Luke’s will receive £1,480 funding for each child registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years. We will also receive £2,570 for each looked-after pupil who:

• has been looked after for 1 day or more
• was adopted from care on or after 30 December 2005, or left care under:
  • a special guardianship order
  • a residence order

There is also another form of funding called the Service Premium.  The Service Premium gives schools extra funding to support children and young people with parents in the armed forces. Pupils attract the premium if they meet the following criteria:

• one of their parents is serving in the regular armed forces
• one of their parents served in the regular armed forces in the last 3 years
• one of their parents died while serving in the armed forces and the pupil is in receipt of a pension under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and the War Pensions Scheme (WPS)

For the financial years 2024 to 2025, the Service Premium is set at £340 per eligible pupil.

How much will we receive?
We are expecting to receive £100,640 in pupil premium funding this year.
