Finances and Funding

The Government now provides a financial benchmarking service through GOV.UK. The financial benchmarking service report for St Hugh’s School (URN: 118146) can be read via this link:

The Government believes that the Pupil Premium, which is additional to main school funding, is the best way to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and their wealthier peers by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the pupils who need it most.

A premium has also been introduced for children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces. This service premium is designed to address the emotional and social well-being of these pupils.
