Pupil Premium

How can Pupil Premium funding support your child?

Pupil Premium is funding which parents can apply for and if your application is successful the school receives extra funding.  The funding given to schools is used to narrow the gaps in attainment between pupils.

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to free school meals.  Pupil premium children will continue to receive free meals past Year 2.  If you think that your circumstances mean that your child may be entitled to Free School Meals (even if they are in Key Stage 1 and already get them) then please speak to Mrs Pugh in the office.  There are benefits to claiming the Free School Meals even if your child is in Reception/ Key Stage 1 and receive them anyway such as subsidised trips.
