Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium Spend 2025–2026

The Pupil Premium grant was introduced by the Government in April 2011. It provides funding to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in state-funded schools in England.  The Charter School North Dulwich is in the London borough of Southwark.

This year, the school is eligible to receive Pupil Premium funds for 26% of our students. Pupil Premium is paid at the rate of £1,075 per eligible pupil, with higher rates for pupils who are currently in care or have previously been in care.For the academic year ending 31 August 2026, the school will receive £290,184 in Pupil Premium funding.Improving the attainment and progress of disadvantaged students remains a central priority for our school.  

Pupil Premium funding is not allocated as a personal budget for individual pupils. Instead, we recognise that the most powerful lever for improving outcomes for disadvantaged learners is consistently excellent classroom practice—benefiting all students, not just those eligible for Pupil Premium. Our Pupil Premium funding is used to enable teachers to plan deliberately for disadvantaged learners, drawing on evidence-informed strategies that support strong progress for every student. In addition, the funding is directed towards targeted initiatives for the most disadvantaged pupils, such as cultural enrichment opportunities and access to extracurricular activities, including school trips and clubs.Further details are available in our Pupil Premium Strategy 2025–2028, which can be accessed via the link below.
