Delay in publishing initial pupil premium allocations for 2024 to 2025 financial year
28 March 2024
The Department for Education (DfE) has been made aware of a problem with its identification of reception aged pupils who qualify for pupil premium.
This means it needs more time to ensure that the 2024 to 2025 pupil premium allocations are accurate and we will now publish the initial allocations, the week commencing Monday 6 May.
Please be reassured that this will not impact the timeline for payments in June 2024.
We hope that this does not cause any disruption to your planning for the academic year.
The final allocations for 2023 to 2024 financial year will be published by the end of March 2024 as planned.
Please contact the ESFA customer help centre if you have any questions.
