Premiums and Funding

Pupil Premium 

The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers. It is allocated to children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM), Looked after Children, children adopted from care and Service Forces children. It also includes pupils who have been eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years (known as the Ever 6 FSM measure). Pupil Premium funding is available to both mainstream and non-mainstream schools, such as special schools and pupil referral units.

If you think your child may eligible to receive this additional funding and support but are not sure whether the school are aware of this, please speak in confidence to a member of staff in the school office. Alternatively, you can call Leicester City Council on 0116 454 1000 check eligibility.

Sports funding 

In April 2013, the government declared a certain amount of funding for physical education and school sport.  Every school, including Falcons Primary School, has received a sum that has, and will continue, to be used to improve the breadth of our provision. 

The school is responsible for determining how the funding is best used.  We believe, as a school, that this funding will support us improve our physical education and sports provision and help us to further our approach.
