The government pays schools, including Sybil Elgar, a pupil premium for every child who is assessed as disadvantaged.

We use the pupil premium to help disadvantaged children to boost their attainment.

If your family’s income makes your child eligible to receive free school meals, we will receive the pupil premium for your child. We will also receive the pupil premium if your child has been looked after continuously for more than six months. We receive a pupil premium for children who have a parent in the armed forces, or whose parent died in service.

Please find more information about how we spend these funds in our Pupil premium strategy statement.
