Allocations
We have now published the confirmed quarters 1, 2, 3 and 4 pupil premium grant allocations for 2025 to 2026. These allocations include pupil referral units (PRUs) and alternative provision (AP) academies which were formerly PRUs.
The school level pupil premium allocations published on GOV.UK are only the deprivation FSM6 element of the allocations and do not include the pupils listed below as this data is suppressed due to data protection guidelines:
- looked-after children (LAC), including previously looked-after children (PLAC)
- pupils recorded on the AP census as receiving free school meals
- service children
- general hospital school pupils
We’ve uploaded a statement in Document exchange for each academy trust showing the unsuppressed pupil premium allocations for the academies in each trust. Statements can be viewed and downloaded from the ‘Documents received’ section when signing in to Document exchange with your academy trust UK provider reference number (UKPRN) account details in DfE Sign-in.
If you do not have access to Document exchange as an academy trust user, please contact the relevant DfE Sign-in approver within your trust organisation, who will be able to set up trust level access for you. If you experience any issues accessing DfE Sign-In, please contact the DfE Sign-in help desk.
Schools can confirm the names of individual pupils included in the allocation via the Get Information About Pupils (GIAP) site. GIAP can be accessed via DfE Sign-in.
