Free School Meals & Pupil Premium
You may be aware that students from families who meet certain criteria (listed below) may be eligible for Free School Meals and/or Pupil Premium funding.
Whether your child decides to take these meals or not, the school also receives additional funding for each student. At a time when school budgets are very tight, this funding makes a real difference to the school - and all the funding is required to be spent on supporting disadvantaged students.
