Pupil Premium Brings £1.7m Schools Funding to Vauxhall
December 24, 2010 11:28 AM
The government has unveiled further details of the Pupil Premium - a key Liberal Democrat policy which will ensure the most disadvantaged children in our country get the help they need.
From April next year every school in England will get £430 for each child in their school on Free School Meals. Based on latest estimates this will mean at least an extra £1,701,510 for schools to spend on the students who need it most in Vauxhall.
This is money on top of what is already being allocated for schoolchildren - no school will lose money as result of the Pupil Premium. And it will be given to Head Teachers to spend at their discretion on what they think works best for their school - be it extra one to one classes, breakfast clubs or after-school clubs.
As this policy becomes a reality, the Liberal Democrats will boost the oppportunities facing hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged children across the country, introducing tangible change for the better.
