Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium provides additional funding on top of the main funding a school receives. It is targeted at students from less advantaged backgrounds to help them benefit from the same opportunities as other students.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE?

Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:

  • Income Support
  • income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • income-related Employment and Support Allowance
  • support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
  • 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
  • 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 funding is £1,455 per pupil in 2023/24 and £1,480 in 2024/25. You will find information on how we use the pupil premium on our school website.

If you think you may be eligible, please apply so the school will receive the pupil premium grant to use to provide extra support for your child.

HOW DO I APPLY

Children in Reception, Year 1 and 2

Please provide a parent/carer national insurance number on the School Admission Form so that the school can check and claim pupil premium on your behalf.

Children in Year 3 and above

Applying online at www.bristol.gov.uk/fsm is the easiest way to register. The details in your application will be checked against the database maintained by the Department for Education. If we are able to confirm your eligibility through this system you will not need to provide any further information. In addition to the school receiving the pupil premium grant you will also be eligible for free school meals, a saving of around £470 a year.

If you do not have a computer at home, or need help completing the application process, you can come and see us any time during the school day. We can also provide you with access to a computer in the school so that you can apply online.
