Derby Moor receives pupil premium funding in the following categories of eligibility:
- Pupils registered as eligible for free school meals (FSM) at any point in the last 6 years
- Pupils identified as having left local authority care as the result of adoption, a guardianship or child arrangements order; or otherwise in local authority care recorded as both eligible for FSM in the last 6 years and as being looked after (or as having left local-authority care).
Pupil premium funding must be used for purposes which supporting closing of the attainment gap between eligible and non-eligible pupils. Examples of the uses of the pupil premium in Spencer Academies Trust schools include:
- Additional one-to-one and small-group support for eligible children
- Funding extra teaching assistants to work with classes
- Supporting delivery of catch-up and booster sessions before and after school
- Running a breakfast club to improve attendance

What is it?
The Pupil Premium is funding allocated to schools for the specific purpose of boosting the attainment of pupils from low-income families. Funding is based on children who have registered for a free school meal (FSM) at any point in the last 6 years and children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces.
Schools also receive additional funding for children who are looked after (CLA) for 1 day or more has been adopted from care has left care under:
- a special guardianship order
- a residence order
- a child arrangement order
Why has it been introduced?
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. Whilst schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit we are required to publish online information about how we have used the Premium and the impact it is having.
