Pupil Premium & Free School Meals
At St John Fisher, we are committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of their background, have the support they need to succeed. The Pupil Premium Grant is a key part of this commitment, providing additional funding to help close the attainment gap between disadvantaged students and their peers.
What is the Pupil Premium Grant?
The Pupil Premium Grant is additional funding allocated to schools for students who have been eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years (known as 'Ever 6 FSM'). It also supports Service Children and children in care who qualify for additional funding. This grant is aimed at reducing inequalities between disadvantaged children and their peers.
