--- title: "Pupil Premium Key Information" url: "https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/key-information/pp-key-information" school: "St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery" --- # Pupil Premium Key Information ![](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/images/Heart_school(3).jpg) The Pupil Premium is funding provided to schools which is additional to main school funding. It is allocated according to the number of pupils on-roll who are eligible for free school meals (FSM), a smaller amount allocated according to the number of children of service families, and an allocation for each pupil who has been ‘Looked After’ (in care) for 6 months or more. In 2012, funding was extended to include pupils who have been eligible for free school meals within the past 6 years. It is for schools to decide how the Pupil Premium is spent, since they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility. However, schools are to be held accountable for how they have used the additional funding to support pupils from low-income families. From September 2012, this information must be published on the school website. Please see below for information regarding how the pupils premium was spent in the last financial year, the impact of this funding, and the plans for future spending. ### Pupil Premium Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2024-2025 241 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/PP_strategy_plan_2024-2025.docx.pdf) Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2023-2024 226 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/PP_strategy_plan_2023-2024.docx.pdf) Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2022-2023 143 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/PP_strategy_plan_2022-2023.pdf) Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2021-2022 237 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/PP_strategy_plan_2021-2022_WEBSITE_FINAL.pdf) Pupil Premium Strategy Statement 2020-2021 133 KB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/files/documents/PP_strategy_statement_2020-2021_WEBSITE.pdf) ### Key Information - [Ofsted and SIAMS Reports](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/key-information/ofsted) - [Academy Results](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/key-information/academy-results) - [Policies](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/key-information/policies) - [Pupil Premium](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/key-information/pupil-premium) - [Applying for Free School Meals](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/coronavirus-covid-19/free-school-meals) - [Key Information ](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/key-information/pp-key-information) - [Sports Premium](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/key-information/sports-premium) - [SEND](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/key-information/send) - [Governance](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/meet-the-governors) - [Safeguarding ](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/key-information/safeguarding) - [COVID Catch-Up Premium](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/coronavirus-covid-19/catch-up-premium-plan) - [Attendance](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/parents/attendance) - [![Artsmark Award](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/Am_Schl_Gld_RGB.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![EAL Quality Mark](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/EAL_Silver.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) - [![Halo Code](https://files.schudio.com/st-matthew-s-cofe-primary/images/partners/halo_code.jpg)](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/about-us/our-awards) ##### Location New Hall Lane Preston Lancashire PR1 5XB ##### Contact Us 01772 794482 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61587761925215) - [X](https://x.com/mackley_ma56490) © Copyright 2018–2026 St Matthew's Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://st-matthewscofe.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
