Pupil premium is funding to improve education outcomes for disadvantaged pupils in schools in England. Evidence shows that disadvantaged children generally face additional challenges in reaching their potential at school and often do not perform as well as other pupils.

If you feel that your child may be entitled to Pupil Premium, please complete and return the form below or follow the link under Free School Meals.

Free School Meals

Below is a link to apply for free school meals.  If you are eligible, this will entitle your child to free school meals and it also opens up additional support.

The school receives additional funds for children that are entitled to free school meals.  We use this money to support interventions for children who need it. We also use it for attendance support and financial help with school uniforms, trips or cultural capital.

In KS1, universal school meals means that school dinners are free until Year 3.  This is not the same as Free School Meals and we encourage anyone who is entitled to FSM to apply for them:
