--- title: "Pupil Premium" url: "https://buckinghamprimaryacademy.net/important-information/pupil-premium" school: "Buckingham Primary Academy" --- # Pupil Premium The Pupil Premium is an amount of money allocated by the government to schools for: - Children of statutory school age from low income families who are known to be eligible for free school meals (FSM) - Children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months - Children whose parents are currently working in the armed forces The current amount stands at £1550 per pupil (2026/2027). The DfE offer the following guidance on how the Pupil Premium is to be spent: ‘In most cases the Pupil Premium is allocated to schools and is clearly identifiable. It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium, allocated to schools per FSM pupil, is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility…\[Schools\] will be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils from low income families. The purpose of the information on this page is to inform parents, carers and other key stakeholders how much Pupil Premium has been received by the school, how it will be spent and the impact previous spending has had on pupils’ achievement including social and emotional wellbeing which is a significant barrier to learning for many disadvantaged pupils. Historically, Buckingham Primary Academy has had a higher than average number of pupils eligible for Free School Meals, for example 38% of pupils were eligible for Free School Meals in 2013 which was significantly higher than the National Average of 26.7% at that time. Currently, there are approximately 48.2%\* of pupils eligible for Free School Meals, which is above average (25.7%) when compared to data captured in the DfE report Schools, pupils and their characteristics: September 2025 \*(Based on data from Get Information about Schools which shows whether a pupil’s family have claimed eligibility for free school meals as reported in the annual spring school census. Parents and carers are able to claim free school meals if they receive a qualifying benefit). ### Pupil Premium Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2026 2027 61 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Pupil_Premium_strategy_statement_2026_2027.docx) Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2025 2026 60 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Pupil_Premium_strategy_statement_2025_2026.docx) Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2024 2025 51 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Pupil_Premium_strategy_statement_2024_2025_Draft.docx) Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2023-2024 241 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Pupil_Premium_strategy_statement_2023_2024.pdf) Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2022-2023 483 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Pupil_Premium_strategy_statement_2022_2023(1).pdf) Pupil Premium Strategy 2022/2023 699 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Pupil_Premium_Strategy_2022.pdf) Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2021-2022 474 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/PP_and_Catch_up_funding_2021.pdf) Pupil Premium Strategy Review Spring 2021 498 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Pupil_premium_strategy_Review_Spring_2021.pdf) Pupil Premium Strategy/ Self- Evaluation Autumn 2020 389 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Pupil_premium_strategy_Review_Autumn_2020.pdf) Pupil Premium Strategy Academic Year 2020-2021 538 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Pupil-premium-strategy_BPA_2020_2021.pdf) Pupil Premium Review Academic Year 2019-2020 369 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Pupil_Premium_Review__Academic_Year_2019_2020.pdf) Pupil Premium Strategy Review Autumn 2019 484 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Review_Pupil_Premium_Strategy_Autumn_2019.pdf) Pupil Premium Report and Review 2019/20 126 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/Pupil_Premium_review_for_2018_-_2019_and_planned_spend_for_2019_-_2020.pdf) Pupil Premium Review Spring Term 2018-19 424 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/pupil-premium/Pupil-Premium-Review-April-2019-formatted.pdf) Pupil Premium 2018-19 198 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/pupil-premium/Pupil-Premium-spending-201819.pdf) Pupil Premium 2017-18 432 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/pupil-premium/Pupil-Premium-spending-2017_18.pdf) Pupil Premium Review July 2018 199 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/pupil-premium/Pupil-Premium-Review-July-2018.pdf) Pupil Premium Review March 2018 438 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/pupil-premium/Pupil-Premium-Review-March-2018.pdf) Pupil Premium Review July 2017 178 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/pupil-premium/Review-of-Pupil-Premium-Spending-July-2017.pdf) Pupil Premium Review March 2017 158 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/pupil-premium/Review-of-Pupil-Premium-Spending-March-2017.pdf) Pupil Premium Report 2016-17 427 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/pupil-premium/Pupil-Premium-spending-201617.pdf) Pupil Premium Report 2015-16 229 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/pupil-premium/Pupil-Premium-spending-201516.pdf) Pupil Premium Report 2014-15 316 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/buckingham-primary-academy-2/files/documents/pupil-premium/Pupil-Premium-impact-2014-2015.pdf) ### Important Information -
