The pupil premium grant is funding to improve educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in state-funded schools in England.

Students are eligible for additional funding for the following reasons:

• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under Part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The guarantee element of Pension Credit

Helping our families

At York High School we are aware that our students come from diverse backgrounds and for some families the cost of school trips and revision materials can cause difficulties. We want to help families by offering a Pupil Premium discount of 20% on all curriculum linked school trips. We also provide all our pupil premium students with free revision guides.
