Pupil Premium

Blessed William Howard Catholic High School is committed to narrowing gaps and ensuring that every pupil excels. The 'Pupil Premium' is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.

The proportion of students in receipt of Pupil Premium funding at Blessed William Howard is broadly in line with the average for similar schools nationally. Whilst the exact umber of students can vary across the year, here the current breakdown of Pupil Premium students in each year group:

Year group	Percentage of PP students
7	24%
8	30%
9	24%
10	27%
11	26%

There are a range of reasons why a child is allocated Pupil premium funding including the following;

Your child is currently entitled to free school meals or has been at some point over the last 6 years
You are currently guardian for a child in your care
One or more parents is, or has been, in the Armed Forces
