CLICK HERE TO VIEW Leicestershire’s Pupil Premium Information for Parents Leaflet. What is the Pupil Premium?The pupil premium grant (PPG) is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers; and to support children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces.
