£3.3 Million Extra For Schools in Sefton


Today the Government released the final Pupil Premium figures for every English local authority, constituency and school. Every school this year will receive an extra £488 for each child on free school meals they have on their roll.

Schools in Sefton are getting an extra £3.3 million from the Pupil Premium to improve the education of the most disadvantaged children. You can find out what each school in your council area is getting by clicking here.

The pupil premium was a key Liberal Democrat manifesto commitment which will improve the education of those from disadvantaged backgrounds. The idea would almost certainly not have been introduced had the Liberal Democrats not formed part of the government.
