	uin	231556
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2019 answer text <p>Eligibility for the pupil premium is founded on the number of pupils recorded through the annual school census as claiming free school meals (FSM) currently or at any point in the last 6 years. The numbers and proportions of pupils attracting pupil premium each year are published here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/search/advanced?group=guidance_and_regulation&amp;topic=%2Feducation%2Fpupil-premium-and-other-school-premiums" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/search/advanced?group=guidance_and_regulation&amp;topic=%2Feducation%2Fpupil-premium-and-other-school-premiums</a>.</p><p>This shows a small downward trend in the proportion of pupils attracting the pupil premium since 2015, from 27.07% of the pupil population in 2015 to 25.13% in 2018. The reduction is seen in a large number of areas across the country and is related to there being fewer parents than in previous years claiming the benefits which would make their children eligible for FSM.</p><p>Schools and local authorities have worked hard over recent years to encourage all eligible families to register for FSM, to ensure that schools receive the full amount of pupil premium funding to which they are entitled. We provide an eligibility checking system to make the checking process as quick and straightforward as possible for schools and local authorities, and have developed a model registration form to help schools encourage parents to sign up for FSM.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 15/03/2019 13:24:29 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
