Pupil Premium and Free School Meals 

If your child is eligible for ‘free school meals’ and you register for this, we’ll receive extra funding called ‘Pupil Premium’. We use this extra money to improve the educational provision and resources at the school. For example, we’ve previously used Pupil Premium funding for:

• Educational provision in classrooms 
• Academic interventions with additional adults
• Wellbeing and self-esteem building interventions
• Supporting the funding of music tuition
• Subsidising school trips to reduce cost. 

What is Pupil Premium funding?

Pupil Premium funding from the government is given to schools to help pupils reach their full potential, regardless of their background or financial situation.

It is provided specifically for pupils who:

• Are registered for free school meals
• Have been registered for free school meals at any point in the past 6 years
• Are, or have been, in care
• Have parents in the armed forces
