The rates are £1,345 per eligible primary pupil, and £955 in secondary.</p><p>We will use the October 2020 census to calculate individual school-level allocations.

As a result, pupil premium funding is expected to increase to over £2.5 billion in 2021-22.</p><p>We are committed to levelling up opportunities to make sure everyone has a fair chance to realise their potential and no-one is left behind.
