This money is sent to schools based on the number of children in the school who are eligible for Free School Meals within the last 6 years.
If your child does not have Free School Meals, but may be eligible because of your family’s income level, please contact the school office (in confidence) to register them. Even if you do not wish your child to have school meals, please register so the school can claim the Pupil Premium funding and use it to support your child.
