Pupil Premium
​
The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011. It was allocated to children from low-income families who were known to be eligible for free school meals, and children who had been looked after continuously for more than six months. Eligibility for the Pupil Premium for 2012–13 was extended to pupils who have been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years Schools also receive funding for children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months, and a smaller amount for the children of service personnel. Schools are free to spend the Pupil Premium as they see fit. However, they are accountable for how they use the additional funding to support pupils from low-income families and the other target groups.
​
Please note that Hardwick House School is an independent special school. As an independent school, commissioning Local Authorities responsible for the payment of school fees do not have to pass on the Pupil Premium to the school and Pupil Premium is paid in varying amounts from different local authorities.
