At Monkwearmouth Academy we believe that all students, regardless of their background, should be supported and challenged to attain the best possible outcomes during their time with us. The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) was introduced by the Government in April 2011 and is paid in addition to main school funding, its purpose is to raise the attainment and progress of disadvantaged students. The Government has used students entitled to Free School Meals as an indicator for deprivation and the funding helps to tackle those inequalities of those students who need it most.

The DfE holds schools to account on their use of the PPG through performance tables which include data on:
• The attainment of the students who attract the funding
• The progress made by these students
• The differences in attainment between disadvantaged students and their peers.
PPG is allocated to the Academy for students who have either registered for Free School Meals at any point within the last six years (£955 per student), Looked After Children (£2345 per student) and children of services personnel (£310 per student).
