Pupil Premium Information

2025–26 strategy

Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium is additional government funding to support disadvantaged pupils — those eligible for free school meals, looked-after children, and children of service personnel — to help close the attainment gap with their peers. At St Peter Chanel we believe in equity of opportunity, and we use this funding to remove barriers to learning so every child can achieve success.
