Pupil Premium Funding

If you believe your child may be eligible for Pupil Premium funding, we encourage you to complete the form linked below. On the same page, you’ll also find more information about what Pupil Premium is and the eligibility criteria.

Although all children in Reception and Key Stage 1 receive universal free school meals, applying for Pupil Premium is still very important.
