Pupil Premium and Recovery Premium Evaluation
Verian
UK Department for Education
Pupil premium is a direct grant paid to state-funded schools in England which aims to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils aged 5-16. As disruption to learning during the COVID-19 pandemic had a greater impact on disadvantaged pupils, the recovery premium grant was introduced in 2021 to help address this. Recovery premium funding finished at the end of the 2023/24 academic year. Schools have had discretion over how to use both premia within a broad 'menu of approaches.' Verian conducted an evaluation of pupil premium and recovery premium to understand how the premia were used in schools. Overall, the findings were positive. Schools felt they had a good understanding of the premia and premia-funded support was felt to be central to schools' wider offer for disadvantaged pupils. Schools reported that premia funding had an important impact on pupils' outcomes.
