Pupil Premium

The pupil premium is additional funding for schools aimed at raising the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities with the aim of closing the gap between them and their peers.  It is paid by means of a specific grant based on the school census figures for pupils registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years in Reception and up to Year 11.

In addition the school will also receive additional funding for any pupil identified in the October census:- 

• as having left local authority care as the result of adoption, a special guardianship order or a child arrangement order
• in local authority care
• recorded as both eligible for free school meals in the last 6 years and as being looked after.

For the academic year 2023/24 the school's projected amount of pupil premium funding is £119,970.

This includes the recovery premium grant, projected at £34,122 as part of the government's package of funding to support pupils whose education has been impacted by COVID-19.

Is your child entitled to free school meals?

If your child is eligible for free school meals and is not registered then your family is missing out and so is the school. 

Your child(ren) may be entitled to free school meals if you as the parent are in receipt of any of the following benefits:

• Income Support
• income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• support under Part VI of the Immigrations and Asylum Act 1999 
• Child Tax Credit (provided you're not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on -paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• Guaranteed Element of Pension Credit
• Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council has made the process for registering for this benefit much easier and they can be contacted online here, by telephone on 01482 394799 or in person by visiting one of the regional customer service centres.

Entitlement to free school meals is kept as confidential as possible.
