Today the Government released the final Pupil Premium figures for every English local authority, constituency and school. Everyschool this year will receive an extra £488 for each child on free school meals they have on their roll. 

Schools in Oxford East are getting an extra £1,247,000 from the Pupil Premium to improve the education of the most disadvantaged children. You can find out what each school in our council area is getting by clicking here.

The Pupil Premium is a policy we devised and campaigned for, and put at the heart of our Coalition negotiations. Now it is more than good policy, it is a reality making a difference to schools in our area. It goes directly into classrooms and will benefit all pupils.

It is also a milestone in breaking the link between poverty and achievement.

Liberal Democrats have always believed that education is the engine of social mobility, now we are making it happen.
