Pupil premium allocations (academies)

Department for Education publish the initial pupil premium allocations on GOV.UK in March/April, confirm these in June, prior to the first payment, and then publish updated allocations in September, December and March, each prior to the remaining quarterly payments.

Due to the suppression of sensitive data, the school level pupil premium allocations published on GOV.UK reflect only the deprivation FSM6 element of the allocations and do not include:

• looked-after children (LAC), including previously looked-after children (PLAC) 
• pupils recorded on the alternative provision (AP) census as receiving free school meals 
• service children 
• general hospital school pupils

However, we provide secure access to unsuppressed allocations for academy trusts on Document exchange.

Every quarter, we upload a statement in Document exchange for each academy trust showing the unsuppressed pupil premium allocations for the academies in the trust.

Statements can be viewed and downloaded from the ‘documents received’ section when signing in to Document exchange with your academy trust UKPRN account details in DfE sign-in.
