What is Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium is government funding which schools can apply for to support particular individual children with their education. It can be up to £1320 per eligible child.

Our aim is to fully maximise this opportunity and make sure each eligible child has this extra funding, which is then used to make a difference to their progress. The school has decided that it would be best to support the child from two angles; academic support and social support. We will do this by investing the majority of the pupil premium into direct learning support such as one to one or small group tutoring. However we understand that children could also benefit from support with non-teaching activities such as help with uniform costs, clubs and music lessons.

Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:

• Income Support
• income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
  
  

Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals.

Your child may also get free school meals if you get any of these benefits and your child is both:

• younger than the compulsory age for starting school
• in full-time education

If so, you could be entitled to some additional support which we can use with you to help your child to do their best at school.
