Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium is additional funding for state-funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged students of all abilities and to close the gap between them and their peers.

Introduced in April 2011 the funding, in addition to main school funding, is to help address national inequalities between the achievement of children from low-income families.

Schools receive funding for each child registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years and for each looked-after or adopted student.

The Schools Financial Benchmarking Service is a page where you can compare the income and expenditure of Co-op Academy Walkden with other academies and schools in England. You can also compare different Academy Trusts too.
