Apply for the Pupil Premium

Does your child qualify for Pupil Premium funding?

A new Citizen Portal has been launched to help you find out if your child qualifies for free school meals and additional funding that the school can use to support your child.

Please visit to sign up, even if your child is in year R, 1 or 2 and receiving universal free school meals, or if you have applied before and do not think you are eligible.

In doing so you will help us to find out whether we can claim the Pupil Premium for your child. This is additional funding to spend on resources, school trips and support for eligible children.

The system is quick and simple to use and can be accessed via a smartphone or hand held device. If you qualify, you will receive a reference number that you simply bring in and show us at school to start receiving free meals. 

Please register at : https://www.cloudforedu.org.uk/ofsm/sims  OR contact the school office who will be happy to assist you making an application.

If registering demonstrates that your child is eligible for Free School Meals or/and the Pupil Premium, you will be sent an email with an authorisation code. Please provide the school office with a copy of this email.

Eligibility is based on one of the following benefits :

• Universal Credit (provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods)
• 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 guarantee 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 four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit

To carry out the check, or for the school to do so on your behalf, you will need to provide the following information:

• Your own name and date of birth
• Contact details
• National Insurance Number or National Asylum Seekers Number
• Child's name and date of birth
