Pupil Premium Strategy and Spending Plan
What is the Pupil Premium?
The pupil premium is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and close the gap between them and their peers.
Is your child eligible for extra funding?
Schools are given a pupil premium for:
- Children who have qualified for free school meals at any point in the past six years.
- Children who have been looked after under local authority care for more than one day.
- Children whose parents work in the armed forces
Do you qualify for the additional funding for your child?
Your child may be eligible for free school meals – and accordingly pupil premium – if you receive any of the following benefits:
- Income support
- Income-based jobseekers’ allowance
- Income-related employment and support allowance
- Support under Part IV of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- The guaranteed element of state pension credit
- Child tax credit, provided that you are not also entitled to working tax credit and have an annual gross income of £16,190 or less
- Universal credit
