Pupil Premium Eligibility
Dear Parents,
Families who receive certain benefits may be eligible for Pupil Premium funding. By applying for Free School Meals (whether your child decides to have them or not), school will receive £1,320 per year additional funding in the form of Pupil Premium for your child. This is an invaluable source of income to school in times when budgets are being drastically reduced.
If your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, you must still complete an application form for school to receive the Pupil Premium funding, even though your child receives Universal Free School Meals.
Last year, our Pupil Premium funding meant that we could employ additional adults to support children’s learning and social/emotional needs. We can also provide your child with a FREE jumper, book bag and PE top from Kids Klobber.
If you are in receipt of one of the following benefits, please complete the slip below and we will support you with your application:
- Universal Credit with an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400
- Income Support
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Support under Part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- The guarantee element of Pension Credit
- Working Tax Credit run-on (paid for the four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit)
- Child Tax Credit (with no Working Tax Credit) with an annual income of no more than £16,190

Yours faithfully,

Deputy Head
PLEASE LET SCHOOL KNOW IF YOU BELIEVE YOUR CHILD MAY BE ELIGIBLE
How did our "Disadvantaged Learners" perform in 2019?
We are incredibly proud of our end of Key Stage 2 outcomes for pupils currently or previously eligible for Free School Meals (FSM/Ever 6/Disadvantaged Learners). Pupils reaching the expected standard was significantly above National in reading, maths and combined scores and the same as National in Writing.
Our focus moving forwards is on increasing the number of pupils achieving the higher standard of "greater depth" in all areas, particularly in writing.
