​

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and is allocated to children from low income families who are known to be eligible for Free School Meals and Children Looked After by the Local Authority.  Eligibility for the Pupil Premium from 2012/13 was extended to students who have been eligible for Free School Meals at any point in the last six years.

​

Pupil Premium funding at Kinver High is focused on supporting children from low income families and other target groups (e.g. Service Children) to be fully engaged with school life, raise their aspirations and ensure they make at least similar progress to their peers to achieve their personal best.

​
