Pupil Premium Explained

A document is attached below to help explain the differences between FSM, FSM6, Disadvantaged and Pupil Premium. This is important when it comes to running reports and applying filters in Nexus because making the wrong selection can lead to different numbers of pupils being included.  

Note:

During the period of Universal Credit roll-out (from 2018) free school meal eligibility has not been withdrawn unless a family specifically asks for it to be removed. This means that FSM eligibility (and the largest component of FSM6 and Pupil Premium) has been growing over that time independently actual numbers who are currently eligible.
