What is the pupil premium?
The pupil premium is additional funding for publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.
Pupil premium was introduced in April 2011. The funding is provided in addition to the school’s main funding and is intended to help disadvantaged pupils to ‘close the gap’ and raise attainment and improve progress.
Children who are eligible include:
- Pupils who have been registered for Free School Meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years;
- Pupils who have been looked after continuously for more than six months;
- Children of armed services personnel.
In the 2022-23 financial year, schools will receive the following funding:

Applying for Free School Meals
Mowlem has all pupils at the heart of all we do and the centre of the school vision and seeks to ensure all pupils have: experienced an engaging, creative, relevant and challenging curriculum which has enabled then to develop the skills needed to be lifelong learners; and have had opportunities to explore, discover and develop interests, skills and talents they didn’t know they had. This is achieved through various funding sources, including the pupil premium. It is therefore very important that parents apply/renew their applications for FSM.

How will the impact of the spending of pupil premium be measured?
To monitor the progress and attainment, measures are included in the performance tables that will capture the achievement of pupils covered by the pupil premium. DfE performance tables can be accessed by clicking HERE.
At Mowlem we will continue to use our cycle of data collection, tracking and monitoring of pupil’s attainment and progress to inform pupil progress and enable early identification of need, support and appropriate intervention.
