Pupil Premium
What is pupil premium?
The Pupil Premium is additional funding given to schools so that they can support their disadvantaged pupils and close the attainment gap between them and their peers.
In line with The School Information (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2012, the following is a report on the amount of the school's allocation from the Pupil Premium grant in respect of the current academic year.
How can I apply for Free School Meal funding?
You can check if you are eligible for Free School Meals here. And apply for this here.
All students in receipt of free school meals also receive free toast at break times in the canteen, to ensure they have two opportunities to eat within the school day free of charge.
We offer free sanitary products for all students in the student toilets, and in addition packs of these products can be collected from the school office, or from the pre-loved uniform shop at any parent evening event.
Free School Meal Eligibility
Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:
-
Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be £7,400 a year or less (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
-
income-related Employment and Support Allowance
-
support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
-
the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
-
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
From the start of academic year 2026 to 2027, your child will qualify for free school meals if you get Universal Credit, regardless of household income.
