Pupil Premium is additional funding provided by the Government to support students who may face barriers to educational achievement.
Funding is allocated for students who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM), have previously been eligible within the last six years, or have parents serving in the Armed Forces.
The purpose of this funding is to help close the attainment gap and ensure all students are able to access the same opportunities, support, and educational experiences.
Thomas Telford UTC uses Pupil Premium funding to provide targeted support that improves both academic achievement and personal development.
