As the new school year begins, pupils at Windmill School will benefit from an extra £54,000 on top of the school budget thanks to the Liberal Democrat Pupil Premium. The figures for 2013/14 have just been announced and show an increase of over £17,000 at Windmill School from the 2012/13 pupil premium of £36,757

Liberal Democrat Schools Minister, David Laws said:

Liberal Democrats are building a strong economy and a fairer society where everyone can reach their potential.

At the heart of that is education.

The Pupil Premium helps to provide extra support for the children who need it the most.

Helping the most disadvantaged children helps every child. Fewer children falling behind means less disruption in class and a better education for everyone.

This will allow all our children to get the best possible start in life.
