St. Philomena's School, Carshalton

Lib Dems in government are doubling the money available for the ‘pupil premium’ which targets money at the children who need it the most.

MP for Carshalton and Wallington Tom Brake said, “It is a shocking fact that pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds are three times less likely to achieve five good GSCEs than their more well-off classmates. That is why Liberal Democrats have ensured that this Government has extended free early years’ education. This school year the Carshalton and Wallington constituency is expected to receive £1,163,000 as part of the pupil premium. For instance, locally St Philomena’s School received £20,496 from the pupil premium.”
