New Pupil Premium Reporting Requirements

The government have issued new guidance to schools on how they are to report and allocate funding from the pupil premium grant for 2021 to 2022. There is a new requirement for schools to use research-based evidence to inform their decisions and has specifically, though not exclusively, named the EEF Toolkit and the EEF’s pupil premium guide as an example. They have also insisted on using a set template for schools to report on and there are some exemplar materials to support schools with this.
