Click poster to enlarge.
The Department for Education (DfE) provides additional funding through the Service Pupil Premium in England. The SPP grant goes directly to academies and non-maintained state schools, as well as local authorities for each school they maintain.
The SPP grant for 2025 is £350 per Service pupil – children from Reception to Year 11 may be eligible.
To help your child’s school to qualify for SPP, Service parents are encouraged to inform schools of their Service status ahead of the autumn census deadline of Thursday 2 October 2025. You can do this by talking to the headteacher or school administration staff.
About the Service Pupil Premium
The main purposes of the Service pupil premium are to:
- help mitigate the negative impact of high mobility on a Service pupil’s education
- enable schools to offer pastoral support to eligible pupils, particularly during times of family separation such as deployments
