Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium funding goes directly to the school and pays for things like school trips, specific interventions or additional teachers or assistants to provide extra support. The Pupil Premium is extra funding for every child who is eligible for free school meals throughout their time at school. This money makes a huge difference to schools and the eligible pupils.
Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2
You should apply for Pupil Premium funding if you receive income support, tax credits or the other benefits listed below so that your child’s school can receive extra funding to support your child. Currently, all children up to Year 2 automatically get free school meals.
If you think your child might be entitled to Pupil Premium funding, please download and complete this form and return it to the school office.
