How can I find out if my child is entitled to the Pupil Premium funding?

The process for applying is straightforward and confidential. You can check online using a ‘Free School Meals / Pupil Premium Service’ at www.fsm.lgfl.net. After entering essential details into the website, the online application process links to the Department for Education system for checking eligibility and gives an immediate ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response, and will notify our school. Alternatively, you can speak to Mrs Pagan, in the office, who will be able to assist you through this process. All applications will be treated in confidence.

Children in Reception and KS1 are automatically entitled to a free school lunch; however, registering your child for free meals will entitle them to additional support with the cost of school visits, PTA events and extra-curricular clubs, as well as raising additional funds for the school.

Pupil Premium Report 2018 – 2019

What is Pupil Premium?

Pupil Premium is allocated to schools for children of statutory school age from low income families who are eligible for Free School Meals(FSM), for children who are looked after by the local authority (LAC) and to children whose parents are currently serving in the Armed Forces.

Schools are able to spend the pupil premium as they see necessary to support the children who are in receipt of it. However, for accountability purposes, schools are required to show clearly how and where the money is spent.
