Our Pupil Premium Strategy

The pupil premium was introduced in April 2011 and is additional funding to main school funding given to schools to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.

The pupil premium was allocated to St. Wilfrid’s RC College for pupils who have either registered for free schools meals at any point with the last six years, children who have been on the Local Authority’s looked after children register, and children of service personnel.

The pupil premium is paid to schools as the Government believes they are best placed to assess what additional provision their pupils need.
