Eligibility for Pupil Premium
The information below outlines the criteria for the Pupil Premium Grant.
Provided your child is attending school full time they will qualify if you receive:
-
Income Support
-
Income Based Job Seekers Allowance
-
Guarantee element of State Pension Credit
-
Child Working Tax Credit with no working Tax Credit and have an income, as assessed by the Inland Revenue, that does not exceed £16,190
-
Support under Part V1 of the Immigration & Asylum Act 1999
-
Employment Support Allowance (Income Related) (ESA-IR)
All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 receive free school meals as provided under the Universal Free School Meals programme. However some children may be entitled to receive free school meals if their parents are in receipt of certain benefits. If your child is eligible for free school meals, it is important that you make an application even if your child is not going to have the school lunch. This is because schools receive a ‘Pupil Premium’ – an extra payment for each eligible child which can be spent on useful services.
​
NB Registering for free school meals will not affect any other benefits you are claiming.
​
If you think you may qualify, application forms are available from the School Office.
