You must publish a strategy for the school’s use of the pupil premium. You no longer have to publish a ‘pupil premium statement’.

If you are an academy and your schools received pupil premium funding your funding agreement will state what you need to publish about it. It is recommended however that the following information is published.

For the current academic year, you must include:

  • Your school’s pupil premium grant allocation amount for the current academic year
  • Details of the main barriers to educational achievement that the disadvantaged children in your school face
  • How you’ll spend the pupil premium to address those barriers and the reasons for that approach for the current year
  • How you’ll measure the impact of the pupil premium for the current year
  • The date of the next review of the school’s pupil premium strategy for the current year
  • For the previous year, how you have spent the pupil premium allocation
  • For the previous year, the impact of the expenditure on eligible and other pupils

An example of how this information could be displayed is available from the Teaching Schools Council. You can access these templates by clicking on the links below:
