The Pupil Premium is to be used to address the current underlying inequalities which exist between children from financially disadvantaged backgrounds and their peers. The Pupil Premium also includes funding for all current looked after children (LAC) and for those who have been looked after for one day or more previously, as well as children who have been adopted from care or have left care under a special guardianship order or a residency order since 30th December 2005. Additionally, the Pupil Premium includes funding for children of current service personnel or ex-service personnel who have served within the last four years. This is called the Service Premium. At King Alfred’s we are committed to closing the attainment gap that currently exists between Pupil Premium students and their peers by encouraging these young people to have high aspirations and to do everything possible to help them reach their academic and social potential.
