Academies that receive pupil premium funding must publish a strategy statement on their school website by 31 December each year.

It must explain:

• how the academy is spending its pupil premium funding
• the education outcomes which disadvantaged pupils are achieving

Academies must publish their statement in the DfE template provided on the pupil premium guidance page.

DfE recommends that academies plan their pupil premium spending over 3 years. If they do so, they must still update their statement annually to reflect:

• their spending activity for the current academic year
• the impact of pupil premium in the previous academic year
