What is the Pupil Premium? The Pupil Premium is additional funding paid to schools in respect of their disadvantaged pupils (pupils who have been registered for free schools meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years or are looked after continuously by the local authority for more than six months). Schools receive this funding to support their eligible pupils and narrow the attainment gap between them and their peers. 2. But isn’t FSM an inaccurate measure of disadvantage? FSM is the only pupil level measure of deprivation available. The link between FSM eligibility and underachievement is very strong and data on FSM is easily collected and updated annually. The FSM indicator best fits the rationale for the Premium. From 2012-13 the reach of the Pupil Premium was extended to those who have previously been eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years.
