Pupil Premium
The school receives a sum of money to support those children eligible for Pupil Premium funding and allocates it to ensure that it accelerates the progress of disadvantaged children. The latest document outlining the planned spend plus the evaluation of the previous year is below.
Who is eligible?
All children who currently qualify for free school meals based on their family circumstances are entitled to pupil premium. This applies if you receive any of the following benefits:
Universal credit (check conditions)
Income support
Income-based jobseekers’ allowance
Income-related employment and support allowance
Support under Part IV of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
The guaranteed element of state pension credit
Child tax credit (check conditions)
In addition, pupils who have qualified for free school meals on the above grounds in the past, but are no longer eligible, continue to receive pupil premium for the next six years.
If your child qualifies for free school meals or has at any point in the past six years, it's important that you tell school - even if they're in Reception or KS1 and receive universal free school meals for infant pupils, or are in KS2 and take a packed lunch - as this enables them to claim pupil premium
