Pupil Premium
Every Child. Every Chance. Every Day.
At Templars, we believe that background should never limit opportunity.
Pupil Premium funding helps us provide additional support, experiences and opportunities so that every child can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
We know that children succeed when they feel safe, belong, attend well and experience a rich education both in and beyond the classroom.
What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium is additional funding provided by the government to improve outcomes for eligible pupils.
Funding may support children who:
• are eligible for Free School Meals
• have been eligible within the last six years
• are previously looked after children
• are currently looked after children
Eligibility is confidential and families are encouraged to apply.
